Our preschool required masks for everyone 2 and up the first year and a half of the pandemic. Then it was indoors only, now it is optional everywhere.

Redeemer in McLean is requiring masks on kids, but not adults?! (aka not enforced for back to school night and no signs up about masks on the doors.)

No thankfully. I’d look for another daycare in my preschooler needed to mask.

We are in MOCO and our preschool finally went mask optional in the spring. We would have been looking for a different place for the fall otherwise. If you want some where mask optional you can find it I bet.

Ours does because the church we are located in (but not affiliated with) requires masks in the building. Thank goodness.

Our daycare doesn't require a mask unless the kid has been exposed to covid, and even then it's not really enforced. This is for a 2s class in a Bright Horizons.

Parents at our center have requested it, so yes, kids are still masked in Alexandria.

Ours never did, except for kids 5 and up, per Virginia law at the time.
