Consider options
 

I think safety is utmost importance when it comes to children. I think we can provide options.

If this is mandated, then their should be vouchers from health Dept for Family daycares with less then a certain amount of children. OR waivers for small daycare facilities. Perhaps point system as they do for other rules. There could also be waivers needing to be signed by patients if they want to enroll their children in certain day care OR day care facility can provide top allergen free environment as an alternative.

The main message being - there should be options for different facilities. Not one size fits all.

Please make adjustments that take in to consideration the nuances in different child-care settings. 

 

thank you
