Are there any dc daycares or preschools that aren’t reading “recommended” as “required” on this? I know ours isn’t.

I meant ours is…ie they are requiring the quarantine and saying it is following OSSE guidelines.

Ours too. It's required. They put it into place ahead of holiday travel and then never took it away.

They already dropped it since it’s only recommended. It’s confusing .

This + toddler masking requirements were dealbreakers for me when I was daycare searching. Managed to find one with neither. The protocols for sick kids are still pretty strict but no travel quarantine, no masks under 5. (I have the luxury of living in VA though)

See #8, bottom right box.

What are you talking about??

Is OSSE ever going to change the travel quarantine guidelines? It is bananas that people can enter indoor establishments without masks, regardless of vaccination status, but my 3 year old can’t drive to Pennsylvania or Delaware for a day trip without quarantining!
