[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a baby boy and our nanny share just fell apart, so we have been looking at daycare options in DC (downtown or Capitol Hill) and have been dismayed to see so many masked teachers in infant rooms. Does anyone know of daycares in the area where at least some of the teachers do not mask, or is masking simply what we should expect these days? [/quote]

My kid's daycare in NoVa still does masks for teachers, sort of, but they generally pull them down throughout the day. Your baby will still likely be seeing plenty of smiles and faces. I don't like the masking either but one upside is the teachers may call in sick less often. It's good for staffing continuity.[/quote]

But how effective are the masks if they're pulling them down constantly?  The teachers at our daycare do this too but I don't really get it.  Oh well.  Anyway I think masks are here to stay to some extent OP.  There are fewer masks at our daycare than over the winter but for those that are still wearing them, I don't think there is an endgame to stop.  Heck, there are even a couple kids who recently got covid (despite wearing masks) and are still wearing masks even after recovering.  You'd think the parents would want to give them a break but one mom told me you could get covid again after a month so they don't want to take the chance.[/quote]
