[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Though, programs should similarly refund parents when they they close down a classroom due to an exposure, since that’s a decision the program itself made. There are few cases where a program is actually required to close down a classroom. Child care regulations and most preschool/child care handbooks only talk about excluding children that are actually sick-- not kids that have simply been exposed to someone that was sick.[/quote]

Not for kids under 2: 10 days is what the cdc says since they can’t mask on days 6-10 after exposure. Also, staff who are not boosted (and they’re not mandated to be) are not considered to be fully vaxxed and have to be out for 5 days after exposure. No staff=no kids.

It’s still the program’s decision whether to apply those guidelines. They're not requirements.[/quote]

PREVENTION OF COVID-19
COVID-19 prevention strategies for Schools and Childcare Facilities are divided into 2 categories: Everyday prevention measures that should be kept in place during all COVID-19 Community Levels1 (including Low), and enhanced prevention measures that can be implemented during Medium or High COVID-19 Community Levels OR in response to facility and student-specific needs (e.g. during a facility outbreak or to maintain a safe in-person learning environment for disabled or immunocompromised students). These are summarized below for easy reference. For full details, see Operational Guidance for K-12 Schools and Early Care and Educational Programs to Support Safe In-Person Learning at cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/k-12- childcare-guidance.html.
• Everyday prevention measures (regardless of COVID-19 Community Level): o COVID-19vaccination
o Stayinghomewhensick
o COVID-19diagnostictesting
o Isolation (for symptomatic or COVID-19 positive people) o Quarantine (for people exposed to COVID-19)
o Hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette
o Optimizing indoor ventilation and air quality
o Cleaning and disinfection[/quote]

I’m not sure what your point is. Who follows every recommendation from the CDC? Child care centers are under no obligation to quarantine other children in a room when there’s been a case. Quite likely the enrollment agreements they have with parents do not contain provisions allowing them to exclude healthy children from class. Catch-all clauses may cover cases where health departments have ordered them to do something, but such orders are rare. [/quote]
