[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m pretty sure I have commented on this thread before. I am a daycare worker and masks 2 is pure safety theater. Try as they might, they do not wear their mask in a safe and effective in fashion.  Their masks often fall below their noses, it gets wet with spit and drool, they chew on it, they are constantly touching it and repositioning it. The gross part is when they have spit on their masks, touch it and then touch the toys. There is no point in them wearing masks all day long.

Have you brought this up with your director and have they broached the topic with licensing/local health dept?  I feel like the people who make the decisions are pretty out of touch with the day-to-day reality of masking toddlers.[/quote]

Licensing does not care about our opinion and her expertise. All directives are top down. Nothing goes from the bottom up even though we are there working with the kids every day. I work in Maryland and the office of child care could care less about our documented experiences. [/quote]

Ok, but the STATE of MD does not actually require masks until 5, it's merely a recommendation from 2-5, so the directive is coming from the county, no?  Heck I know of family daycares in MoCo who aren't requiring masks anyway.
