[quote=Anonymous]I've changed my mind on this -- for full day daycare, unless the daycare is making concerted efforts to mask, ventilate, and social distance, just take the masks off.

It's mostly COVID theater in my 3yo's daycare. They wear masks, some better than others and mostly cloth. But they have two snacks and lunch daily and are not 6+ feet apart during the meals. I arrived last week at the end of snack time and several kids were roaming maskless. The kids sit on the floor nearly shoulder to shoulder (the school send photos). I was looking into getting KN94's for my little guy, and I think I will - for when we take him places (airplanes, groceries) where we can keep our masks on and can monitor him.

I have a friend in LA whose daycare keeps the windows open all day and asks parents to bring in blankets. The don't eat there, as it's just for mornings. And they mark the floors so kids stay distanced. They even wear masks outside. In that school, good masks make sense. Not sure they do much in my kid's classroom.

And I'm the mom who kept my kids home the first week back after winter break and spent the last two weeks picking my ES kid up for lunch so he wouldn't have to take his mask off all day. So I'm definitely tending toward the more cautious. But yeah, masks for the littles when they eat and spend all day there -- likely not terribly helpful. [/quote]
