[quote=Anonymous]Hi - I'm struggling what to do about daycare. I'm off this week with both of my kids, scheduled to send DS3 back to daycare after the new year. The school closed four different classrooms in the last few weeks due to COVID. And my kiddo brought home half a dozen colds this fall - which tells me masks just aren't protective in this environment. (Oh, there's also the fact that when I pick up, there are usually kids with exposed noses.)

I'm wondering if keeping him home for a week or two could mean missing the surge in cases? And if I do that, does it mean I really should keep my vaccinated elementary school son home, too? Cases were rising at his school prior to the holiday break.

I feel like sending the boys to school in January is accepting that we are VERY likely to bring COVID home. I know it's likely to be no big deal for my little guy, but he does have a heart defect and my mama bear instincts want to keep protecting him. DH and I are boosted and can work from home in January. We live in an area with pretty high vaccination rates, but a lot of mask opposition, especially for kids.

I know we are extremely fortunate to have this choice. Thoughts are appreciated.[/quote]
