[quote=Anonymous]My 3.5 year old has been home since the start of the pandemic (was in daycare beforehand).  We've since added a baby and hired a nanny.  We've enrolled the 3.5 year old in a part-time preschool starting in September, but with Delta cases rising, I'm getting nervous about sending her.  We (parents) are vaccinated, as is nanny.  Baby is almost a year old.

For those of you that sent your kids to preschool/daycare last year or are planning to send them this year, please help me feel better about this decision.  My daughter is extremely extroverted and I think school will be very good for her, but I'm nervous about exposing her to Covid or having her bring it home to the baby.  I feel like she's not getting enough stimulation, arts/crafts, etc. at home because the baby can be demanding, but that should get better as baby is getting older and a little more independent.

One additional consideration is that we regularly see an immunocompromised grandparent, which we have all felt comfortable with because we have been fairly isolated so far.  She's very close to her grandparents and attending preschool might mean seeing grandparents less or not seeing them at all for extended periods of time.  What is better for a 3.5 year old - preschool with her peers or regular (2-3 times/month) time with grandparents?[/quote]
