OP: Write a letter to your center director advocating for some specific policy changes. Point to guidance from the CDC or other nearby municipalities. Try to talk to other parents at pick up or drop off since you don't have a family directory and see if they will sign on to your letter. [/quote]

Also a Director and not sure how helpful this is. Every Director that I know already has a general understanding of changes that parents want in COVID policies. Why not have an individual conversation with the Director at your program and see why certain policies are in place. If they are not a good fit, be willing to find a program with policies that work better for you.

Your previous post mentions test to stay. Unfortunately test to stay doesn't fully prevent spread in the classroom. If Sally comes to school on Monday and is negative and then has a positive test on Tuesday, she has already exposed the classroom on Monday and there will likely be additional cases.

The only solution I see is to get children vaccinated and then treat COVID like cold/flu and require quarntine only for positive children. The 3 series vaccine would mean your center could potentially adjust the quarantine policies in mid/late Fall. So again, not sure how helpful an advocacy letter would be right now since there is not yet an actual solution available. I'd must rather have a conversation with my parents and let them make the decision to do what's best for their family. [/quote]

OP here. Valid point, and I would welcome that sort of policy you mentioned for vaccinated children (my toddler just got her first dose). Unfortunately there is just not enough affordable competition in the market where I am for me to be able to "find a program with policies that work better" for us. We are beholden to whatever dearth of local centers we can afford, which right now is our current center and maybe one other. DH does not want an in-home provider though I'd be open to it.[/quote]
