    I wonder why you ask this question. If you usuallly provide blankets why wouldn't you want to do that now? What are you concerns?

    We have not provided blankets.  But now the children bring their blanket and it stays at the center, and we launder it here, to prevent it from going back and forth.

    Hello Juanita!

    I'm in IL, and while I don't think it's a requirement to provide blankets, as a response to this pandemic, my center has decided to. The blankets will be kept at school and laundered daily. Children will no longer be permitted to bring pillows or blankets from home. 

    Thanks for asking this question! I'm sure many people are wondering the same thing! We are living in uncertain times and it seems as though policies and guidelines are changing daily! We are in this together!
