[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could see them going away, but having different quarantine requirements for exposures based on whether your kid was vaccinated or wearing a mask.

If you're that worried why not hire a nanny?   With 2 other kids it would probably be more cost effective to have a nanny for the 2 year old that also watched the older kids in the afternoon than to pay for 2 lots of aftercare?

For what its worth, my kid is 2 and has been in part time preschool masked this year.   She is speaking in full sentences and has a large vocabulary.  From talking with the other parents in her class / age group no one is seeing a language delay in their kids either. (Small sample I know).  I think if your kid is going to have a language delay its going to happen regardless of Covid.  Its probably only a very small number of kids for whom Covid is making a significant difference with respect to language acquisition.

I think there is a difference between being in a masked environment, part time, for the past few months (I’m assuming September since you said they started this year) and nearly two years in a full time childcare environment, as it has been for some kids (e.g. essential worker kids who continued to go to childcare spring 2020).

Anecdotally, my kids both attended a Spanish immersion daycare until they were 3. My oldest had already moved on to preschool when the pandemic started, but my youngest was there for much of the pandemic. She never picked up Spanish like her older sibling did, I dont think she could understand what the teachers were saying.  [/quote]
