[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, we just switched to a new daycare not that long ago, and one of the things we LIKED about it was that it didn't require masks for 2 year olds.  The teachers are all masked, they're doing separate entrances for separate classes, lots of other appropriate Covid things. 
Now that our county is  more than 44% fully vaccinated-- NOW we need masks for the toddlers?!?! 
The daycare had another person complain to the County, they were inspected, and are now required to have all 2 year olds masked.

I'm so mad.  We have almost $4k in deposits for this daycare that require 30 days notice for our leaving to get back, but they can just spring the  2 year old mask mandate for next day application.  I get that it's not their fault, but it's also not mine.  I spent MONTHS interviewing and researching daycares before selecting this one.

Our 2 year old is going to flip out about it.  We have trouble getting him to wear a mask for 20 mins on an errand, let alone for 9 hours.  And he has a bad habit of pulling on other people's masks (mom and dad's) and I know he will be getting in trouble for it at school (which I don't want him to hurt other kids, but the mask thing he doesn't think of as hurting anybody).  [b]This means he's going to spend a lot more time in time outs and discipline and getting yelled at for things that a normal 2 year old does. [/b]:/

What is the best or most reasonable way to ask for the deposit back without having to stay the next month?[/quote]

Huh? The teachers at the daycare you chose after months of research yell at students? That's very odd. If you're just assuming this will happen then you're most likely very mistaken. I'm sure the teachers and admin will be working very gently with kids to get them accustomed to mask wearing. Have you even had a conversation with your child's teacher about this? If your plan is to change daycares/schools every time there's a policy that might make your kid "flip out" then you're going to be miserable. Chill out.[/quote]

OP, if this daycare is using time outs for 2 year olds you should pull your kid out regardless of the mask issue. Teachers should not be yelling at 2 year olds or putting them in time out. [/quote]

OP intentionally chose a daycare that is violating health regulations.  She should be more worried about whether they are following rules put in place to protect her kid from physical abuse and child molestation.  They are probably cutting corners there too.  [/quote]
