[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both of my children's daycare/preschool classrooms were completely shut down this week because of two separate covid cases.  I will have two weeks of juggling childcare and work and no compensation for the closure.

WHY are we still doing this. Why has every segment of society essentially returned to normal except daycares?  I understand that small children cannot get a vaccine but its been proven time and again that small children are not seriously affected by Covid.  I have accepted that this is endemic, but why have daycares not.

What is your daycare's policy? [b]Are they all living like this is 2020?

Yes!

They shutdown for 10 days when there's a case. Meanwhile, school age kid can still go to school when there's a case in his class. [/quote]

Our daycare has gone totally bonkers- right now half of the classes are shut down for post it I’ve cases, including the “older” pre-K where every kid is 5.  And even that room is shutdown for 10 days! It makes no sense.  I thought we’d get some relief when we get EUA for under 5 and can vaccinated are our 3yo but now it seems like it’s not going to make any difference.  I REALLY don’t want to switch daycares, DC loves it there.  But now I wonder if this is going to be a regular occurrence until they go to kindergarten, which is still 2 years away.[/quote]

I would switch.  Close contact quarantining should be identical to infected persons quaratine.[/quote]

The problem is I’m not sure this is isolated to our center- they say it was at the direction of the county health dept.  I’d probably have to switch to an in home daycare to avoid that.[/quote]
