Bright Horizons are not known for their graciousness.
It's a shame they were rude about it, but the reality is that all daycare parents should expect this. A lot of daycares cannot operate with their usual numbers and implement safety measures. Infants are safer than preschoolers.[/quote]

Yep, it’s very easy to distance infants from each other and not have them share anything. Much harder for bigger kids. [/quote]

I initially thought this but after the more recent research I feel like the preschoolers may be better off. Yes they share things and are germy with each other but we know that kids that age aren’t the primary source usually (though of course they can be and could bring it from an adult from home), they are more likely getting it from an adult like the teacher. The problem I’ve seen is that when a teacher gets it with infants they are holding them, diapering them, touching them. So much close interaction and easier spread. [/quote]

I’m inclined to agree- they’re also old enough to understand a bit more why everyone needs to keep their distance. You can’t really distance adult caregivers from infants/young toddlers.  [/quote]

I think the cuddling with infants will stop. I imagine much more laying babies on the floor/ loungers and teachers monitoring from 6 feet back. They will feed the baby and then lay it back down to play alone. Babies are also properly spaced apart. [/quote]
