[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I run a daycare in Montgomery county and The county is not imposing those guidelines anymore. Your daycare might have ulterior motives and is hiding behind the state and county with these ridiculous requirements. In Maryland and in Montgomery county children over two are absolutely not required to wear a mask, or quarantine and especially not household. That is completely intrusive. Ask to see where they are getting their guidelines and regulations from. They will not be able to provide one for you because they are making them up.

But at this point I think you should find a different daycare[/quote]

Not the OP, but while our daycare doesn't officially require masks anymore, they're always saying that masks are "strongly recommended", on signs, emails, and to your face if you dare to bring in your kid without one.  They say it's what the county/state recommends, but I really think they are just making it up, because it was my understanding that it's only recommended when we are in "high" community levels?  And it's so blatantly hypocritical because I'll often see staff with the masks off or under their noses.[/quote]

You are right.

From MSDE:  
"For community settings including school and child care programs, the CDC recommends
universal indoor mask wearing only at the high COVID-19 Community Level."

MSDE and MCHD have both made it very clear that recommendations and guidance are not mandates.  So even at the high level it's not required/mandated.  As always, they can impose their own rules but they should not blame it on the state or county. [/quote]
