Parents and guardians preparing to return to worksites as COVID-19 restrictions ease next month are now mulling over another quandary: whether to risk sending their children to daycare.
But as daycare facilities look to gradually scale up operations, parents who require childcare services are weighing the risks of sending their children outside the safety of the home to be cared for by others.
The report also outlines a “three-phased approach” that childcare facilities, schools, restaurants, and other establishments are required to meet in order to move from one mitigation phase to another.
One of the key guidelines given for minimising the risk of spread in the report is “keeping classes together to include the same group of children each day, and consider keeping the same childcare providers with the same group each day”, the CDC report says.
Manager of It Takes A Village Nursery and Preschool, Mark Marshall, explained that he has only received requests for the upcoming school term in September.
