Daycares should close for the same reasons that all schools have been closed.

That’s a big point! Why do schools staff matter more then daycares? We all worked for a certificate/ degree and even if you didn’t, you still work your hardest every day!

Keep child care center employees safe. They are teachers too.

Working at daycare in Big Rapids, I don’t understand how sending school kids to daycare is beneficial for taking action on preventing the virus? It not only impacts the students but the staff.

We have families with vulnerable adults to worry about too.

As an employee in a daycare, I agree all childcare facilities need to be shut down. We come into contact with so many people, infants, children, parents, grandparents, babysitters, people touring for childcare, ect... illnesses get pasted around so fast in daycare settings. Why were we forgot about. My grandma is my nanny while I work and my husband is type-1 diabetic. I'm not necessarily worried about myself but I'm worried about bringing this devastating virus home to my loved ones who can be affected severely. Please think about this. Why shut down schools and not daycares!!

As a daycare worker who also has children of my own one with severe asthma this makes me upset. We are still open and I could be putting my own childs health at risk.

As someone who works in childcare, I feel like it was really irresponsible for daycare facilities to be overlooked during this time in our country.

As a childcare provider I love the kids I care for and I sympathize with the parents, but now may be a better time for them to find private sitters. We also need to know that having to shut down won't hurt us financially. At least we need to know that if shut down we will be taken care of until we can reopen (i.e. our power and water not shut off, phones not shut off, payments delayed, ebt) something. I do agree that we should be shut down though because nothing spreads faster than in a daycare. We are the first ones to get sick when there's an outbreak and I promise you that if daycares aren't shut down this problem will not go away.
