Not because we don't want parents in, but because of licensing. AND, it's due to Covid, because if parents are unvaxxed then they are breathing on other people's children, and spending time with them and that's not Covid safe. So we'll see when parents can come in - believe me, I'd prefer that they be allowed in so they can have a deeper relationship with their child's teachers.

If that’s the clinics policy, it’s the clinics policy. Be patient. clearly the vet has a different opinion and wants to support their staff. This is really temporary.

If they had a not-to-far away date (say, June 15th or July 1st or something) when they were going to start letting parents in, or if they were requiring proof of vacation for parents to come in, fine, but this blanket ban is really no longer necessary. I would start to worry that it's because it makes their lives easier (no parents looking over their shoulder, more efficient drop off and pickup) rather than health reasons.

I had this same thought at the vet this week - they're still doing drop off visits only. I offered to show proof of vaccination, they still won't let me in. That's not science based. And while I bet it's easier for them to rush through an exam without me in the room, it's stressful for the pets, and I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth. At this point, it's a real bummer.

Even two or three months ago, I would have had a vastly different response.

You sound like you get bothered by a lot of things. Just so you know, you won’t be allowed in the Kindergarten classroom either. Prepare yourself now.

Nope, I’m actually a pretty chill upbeat person, just offering my sympathy to parents dealing with this right now (as I said, I’m not). Big difference between a daycare where you’re dropping off your non-verbal infant and kindergarten for a 5 year old, IMHO.
