[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 3 yr old in morning preschool is very different than a two year old in 8 hours of daycare.

My three-year-old has no problem wearing a mask and zero speech issues but he was not in daycare.  We are talking about two totally different things here.  DS is in a regular three hour preschool with vaccinated and masked caregivers and all the little ones wear disposable masks.  We’re in a warm weather state so snacks are outside.

[b]Daycare parents need to be heard on the negative ramifications of masked caregivers and masked toddlers.  Us plain old nursery school parents with SAHP or nannies should still enforce the strictest policies possible because there is no downside.[/b]  [/quote]

I'm not really understanding this- if the benefit of these strict masking policies is minimal, why would it be necessary?  There may not be [i]as much[/i] of a downside, but kids are still missing out on developing social cues with their peers, and masks are still impacting communication.  [/quote]

[b]No they aren’t.  Not in a three hour preschool. [/b] [/quote]

Huh? Preschool where I am is an full day till 3pm and my child goes to aftercare till 6pm. Because, you know, there's this thing called full time working parents.

Rich parents who can pick their kid up at noon are really out of touch.[/quote]

Seriously, my kids have been in daycare for ten hour days since I returned to work after maternity leave around 3-4 months, then after that went to ten hour days at preschool. The previous commenter re: thinking 3 year olds get picked up at noon is incredibly out of touch.[/quote]

Jesus, the PP is not out of touch since she just said exactly what you said!  [/quote]

The post was in response to the comment, "No they aren’t.  Not in a three hour preschool"[/quote]

Go back and reread the thread, PP.  They were talking about three-hour-a-day preschool.  [/quote]

DP.  I'm still not convinced masks in a 3hr preschool are doing anything (they're probably mostly wearing cloth, right?) but if it makes everyone "feel" better then I agree the harm to the kids is not as great as wearing them all day.[/quote]
