[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all due respect, you are not going to be able to give him what a preschool can provide especially with a younger one. He will miss potentially one year of classroom engagement and gains if you keep him at home.  BTW why would he have to stay home for the year? Nobody is saying COVID will last the year.  Also, you will likely burn out.  This all seems so ridiculous. If it wasn’t safe, the governor and health departments wouldn’t open up preschools.[/quote]

Umm, no, they are opening them up because parents need childcare to work and because there is tremendous political pressure to open up as many things as possible.  Anyone who thinks all the decisions are being made based on actual evaluations of safety has not been paying attention.  (Although if you really think "nobody is saying COVID will last the year" it sounds like you have not been paying attention anyway... we have no idea when we will get a vaccine, and even if we get one mid-year it's not like it will be able to be rolled out instantly and make all risk of covid go away.)

Also, it's not like there's a black and white "safe"/"not safe" line.  Pretty much everything we do in the time of covid has some level of risk.  Child care and preschool are fairly high up there on the risk scale.  I say that as someone who is sending my kids back in the next few weeks... but that's because we both have to work.  If one of us was a SAHP, there is no way I would be taking that risk.[/quote]

You’re being a fear monger.  You don’t know why they are opening them.  Did you speak to MD department of Health? CDC? County childcare licensing office? Governors office? Stop acting like you know better.  Why wait for a vaccine? In previous situations with SARS and MRSA there was no vaccine.  These leaders would not put their citizens in harms way.  [/quote]
