My Bellevue daycare told me today that they probably won’t close unless a worker, kid, or family member gets the virus or...the state shuts them down. Fun times.

Even if they won't close, you can still pull your kid out when you believe it's prudent to do so, right?

I’m ok with their precautions. Not only are they keeping things super clean, but they are giving my kid more hygiene education and training then I could possibly do on my own. For example, washing hands at home is a bit of a struggle because the sink is so high, it is much easier to drill in the habit at daycare, not to mention the peer pressure they apply by making a game out of it for all the kids at once. Child psychology is working for us in this case as long as it remains safe.

Buy a stool for crying out loud, they're like $10

We have one of course. Helps, but still isn’t a replacement for having a sink specifically at a 3 year old’s height.

Isn't that missing the point? That might be fine and dandy for him, but it bodes poorly for slowing the spread in general.
