[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t believe it, but our daycare just sent out OSSE’s and DC Health’s new guidance and it no longer requires mandatory 10-day exclusions for children under 2 for Covid exposures. It suggests facilities follow CDC’s recommendations but facilities can do what works for them. After near back-to-back closures in our lo’s daycare over the past month, I’m crying happy tears.

Here’s the new guidance: https://coronavirus.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/coronavirus/page_content/attachments/COVID-19_DC_Health_Guidance_for_Schools_and_Childcare_Facilities-6-13-22.pdf[/quote]

Maryland never strictly required it, but most daycares and preschools continue to enforce 5-10 day quarantines, which effectively means closing a classroom for 1-2 weeks.

What makes you think your child's daycare will change policies?[/quote]

PP here, we are in a new independent daycare facility that has open discussions about their policies with parents. Up until now there was no flexibility in how they address Covid exposures because of DC’s policies. But now, there is a dialogue about how to move forward, especially in light of the fact that nearly all the kid’s in my lo’s class have had Covid in the past 6 months with no cases of reinfection.[/quote]
