[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact of the matter is that daycare communities will do what feels right to them and the majority of the families/staff at any given center.

If you don't like how your daycare is handling COVID, pull your kid out and find a better fit for your family. That goes for families on both sides of the arguments. [/quote]

You mean like move somewhere else?  Or "just get a nanny'?  There are very few options for mask free daycares in DC and MoCo in particular. [/quote]

You get what you pay for.

There are plenty of in-home daycares in this region that both mask or do not mask. Lots of choice out there, depending on what you want for your kids. [/quote]

There may be mask free options but it’s also not as simple as you’re making it sound. You can’t just switch daycares at the drop of a hat. There are waiting lists. It’s all trade offs of course so if no masks if your first priority then you figure it out. But most people assume we’re ending masks at some point so are not going to switch to a daycare that’s out of the way due to mask rules. Or uproot their child - some may transition easily, some may not. So while you are technically correct you can look for a mask free option, it’s not what you make it seem[/quote]

Also, most kids tend to transition out of in-home daycares when they reach preschool age.  We were previously at an in-home that did not mask the kids, but they encourage families to move on once the child turns 3-3.5.  We moved last summer and it did not make sense to find yet another in-home just because they had more lenient mask rules (subject to change at any time) only to have to switch again to a preschool center later on.  Also, at that point it seemed like there was more of a light at the end of the tunnel for some of this.[/quote]
