2 family members of kids last winter (I think the kids themselves weren’t positive but that classroom (not ours) had to quarantine). 2 staff this summer (I think not teachers because at didn’t have to quarantine).

Since we’ve been back for the year, 2 in my kids class. The pod is like 30 (hardly a pod but I think it abides by the regs) bc mixing happens early and late in the day. One student, one vaccinated teacher. I really hope this is unlucky and not a sign of what delta will being this year.

Keeping kids in podscwith one teacher throughout the day is expensive and no practical for most daycares that run on low margins.

How are they testing? In house or do families go to cvs (or somewhere similar)?


Daycare center has contracted with a service provider to come into the center every Monday AM and test all kids and employees. The service provider has everyone's insurance info and bills through insurance. Test results are emailed to parents and shared with the school by Tuesday evening. Any positive case means that kid + their pod remain out of school until the next Tuesday. Kids in the pod must get a negative test before returning. School shares positive results with DOH for contact tracing.

If a kid misses the Monday AM testing, the family needs to go get tested on their own and share results with school by Tuesday evening. Kids can't return to school on Wednesday without a negative test.

It's really easy and we are liking the setup. It's pretty much the only convenient way to do this. A "pod" is only 4 kids plus an assistant, so its not a ton of kids that need to go into quarantine if there is a positive test.


Oh wow, this is....extra.



Kids won't need to go through this testing regime once they are vaccinated. Vaccinated kids also won't need to quarantine if exposed so long as they submit a negative rapid test. It's going to be a good incentive for the parents to get their kids vaccinated, since they can then stop with the weekly testing.

Kids age 2 and up are masked all day, both inside and outside. They taught my toddler to wear a mask! I'm friggin' amazed. There have been no illnesses with our kid - no colds, coughs, etc. It's incredible.

Really, I have no complaints about this. Other parents are all on-board too. Everyone is doing their part.

Since August 2020, one administrator that didn't have contact with students. Zero cases in the teachers or classrooms.

One or two reported since July 2020? If there have been asymptomatic undetected cases, I truly do not GAF at this point.

Yes but if kids/families/teachers didn't get sick enough that anyone was even tested, that's what most ppl care about. I think that's what OP is really asking.


+1 also I dunno about you guys but DD has gotten PCR tested numerous times over the past year because if she has any symptoms we test her before sending her back. Every single test has been negative. It's not like nobody is getting tested ever, testing is pretty common especially those daycares that require it in order to come back after an illness. The idea that Covid is just running rampant without anyone knowing is a little silly. Maybe they've missed a couple of asymptomatic cases that never spread to anyone because yes, it's possible to have Covid and not pass it on especially without symptoms.
