[quote=Anonymous]I have no idea.  I don't even know when ours will be back open.  It's one thing to open schools/colleges, daycare is a whole other matter- under the best of circumstances, they are a petri dish of illnesses.  All it takes is one kid with COVID to knock down a bunch of parents/caregivers (hopefully most kids would be ok).

So, when ours reopens, I don't think we will send DD back right away.  I think we will wait and see if there is a big uptick in infections and what precautions they take.

It seems like getting COVID-19 at some point is inevitable, but I'm not quite at the point of gambling that if I get and/or if DH gets it it "won't be that bad."  I was really sick with the flu this year (bedridden) and I really don't think I could have safely cared for DD.  If DH and I were both like that .  . . .  It's not like we could call in the grandparents or a friend.

So I really don't know.

I feel like daycares aren't getting as much coverage because kids are generally not really sick with COVID and their education hasn't been as visibly disrupted as older kids, but in some ways I feel like daycare parents have the tougher decision about when to send kids back.  It's not like you can tell a 15-month old to sit 6 feet apart, wear a mask, and don't lick things.   [/quote]
