[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes many are taking advantage. I was just thinking our daycare requires kids to stay home 48 hours after a fever subsided. Prior to COVID it was 24 hours. Maybe it made sense in 2020 but if a kid has a negative test there is no reason why it can’t be 24 hours like it always was. It just leads to more lost work or lying and skirting the rules. But the provider has to deal with fewer kids so it’s great for them.[/quote]

Did they update the enrollment agreement to say that? Because MSDE exclusion criteria is still 24 hours, and nearly all child care center contracts I’ve seen just refer to the state rules.[/quote]

Separately, though, it seems like the obvious, immediate solution is to never say they had a fever.[/quote]

Unless they get sick unexpectedly at daycare they are never sick.

They are at a routine doc appointment, visiting with family, slept badly the night before, exc.

I know that the daycare knows but it works for everyone.

And no I don't send my kid in sick. I just try to preserve these "extra" days when they are ok to go.[/quote]

Yep. I’m pretty sure everyone knows that’s what parents do at the center my kid is at. It’s gotten easier. I’d usually acknowledge they were sick, but if they asked for symptoms I’d have to be careful to not say anything on the covid symptom list. Ear and tummy aches were “common.”[/quote]
