[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a daycare in Montgomery County and haven’t heard anything to the contrary from the county. We already adopted the state guidance, we’re licensed and regulated by the state and not the county.

If the county opposes these new guidelines, well that ship has sailed! The new guidance came out last week. If they oppose that they would’ve put out a statement or email to daycare‘s but they haven’t.[/quote]

That is a big relief to hear. We are hearing a different assessment from other providers, however. They believe that licensing requires them to report cases to the MoCo Health Dept., and that if the Health Dept. then gives them quarantine guidance that differs from the state's, (i.e., quarantine a class for 14 days vs. 5), that providers have to follow that even if it is more strict.

What are you thoughts on that?[/quote]

If daycares have strict safety measures in place they would not have to follow 14-day guidelines for every student. That is what has been communicated to my facility multiple times. Direct your frustrations at these facilities for failing to implement adequate measures to overcome state guidance. Quarantines would affect less students with proper spacing or sectioning children into smaller groups. This has kept most of the children in my facilities from qurantines over the past few weeks. There are steps these daycares can take--have you spoken with them? Might be easier to move the needle there then at the health department. [/quote]

So you keep all the kids 6ft apart at all times? That’s….sad, not to mention not realistic for toddlers.[/quote]
