[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not trying to sock puppet but I am coming back to the thread with quasi live reactions.

The fact that they’re saying all of this was guidance and not mandatory is a flat out lie or misrepresentation of what we have been told this entire time. And yes we are mandating masks under five because if we don’t We have been written up by our specialists (each of whom has their own interpretation of all of this) and parents read the reports and think we’re awful daycares.

I’m completely in the dark about this test to stay letter. I have not received any communication. But all of this is meaningless if it’s all guidance and we don’t have to do it we can just either go back to how we did things pre-Covid or be more conservative in our regulations. It’s all a tossup and doesn’t help us. It puts us at odds with bully parents who want to dictate how we run our businesses. Some of us are family daycares, Some have multiple centers and everybody is told differently.

I’m trying to do my best and be in compliance but all of this conflict information is upsetting.[/quote]

Parent here and I feel for the childcare providers- please understand that most of our frustration is geared toward the CDC, state, and county.  Our center director has told us similar stories, how DHHS and the specialists weren't "allowing" any deviations from the DHHS "guidance."

Our former in-home provider, who lives in our neighborhood so we still talk to, seems to have a slightly easier time of it as she did not require masks for kids upon reopening in summer 2020 and just stuck with it.  Some families chose not to return due to this but especially now she's had no problem filling the spots.  Maybe parents are a bit more realistic about the efficacy of masking with a mixed age group anyway, but I imagine it will be harder to stop requiring masks when they've been in place so long.  There will always be parents who think they continue to be necessary.[/quote]
