[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - we got the updated COVID policy from daycare today. Our rules include:

- everyone over 2 wears a mask, regardless of vaccination status
- no parents in the building, and no line allowed outside the building. Parents must wait in their car if another parent is at the door for pickup/drop off
[b]- kids can’t come to school if they, or [i]anyone else in the family[/i], has one or more of these symptoms: fever, coughing, runny or stuffy nose, difficulty breathing, headache, stomach pain, diarrhea, or vomit[/b]
- if the kid has the above symptoms, they need a PCR to come back
[b]- if we go out of town, the entire family needs to take rapid tests before the kid can come back[/b]
- we have to notify the daycare of a positive COVID case in the house (definitely reasonable)
[b]- we have to notify the daycare if anyone in the house was exposed to COVID, regardless of test results [/b]

This is not what we agreed to when we enrolled. We’re going to start looking for a new daycare… unless this is just normal in the DMV? [/quote]

Yeah, not normal.  The MOST onerous are the ones I bolded.

My daycare actually requires a negative test to return after cold symptoms, and this seems fine.  I wouldn't be mad if that was PCR (it isn't, they accept a photo of a negative antigen test, which obviously is easily faked, but who would do that?).  But they don't care if anyone in the household has symptoms, and kids can return when symptoms are improving but lingering cough/runny mnose is fine.  Travel is just crazy and makes no sense.  Exposure notification is OK as long as they don't act on it.  Kids even can come to school with a COVID positive parent (they may request antigen testing, not sure).

Even this is more than a lot of places are doing.[/quote]

Definitely not normal.  Immediately PP's experience is similar to my daycare.  Adults are allowed in the building/classrooms provided they're masked, too.  Definitely look for somewhere new, OP. [/quote]
