My family childcare is opened on June 1st. Two weeks before to open I sent an email to the parents along with the guidelines.
After three and a half month, I was so nervous and uncertain about to open the daycare. There were so many queries was rolling
in my mind. How I gone a meet the infants with the mask, will they recognize me , or may be scared. And will the parents follow the
COVID-19 guide lines what I sent to them.First thing I did after sanitize the place I decided to buy scrubs for me and my staff. As I informed the parents at the arrival time they called me came to the table which( I put outside the daycare in my backyard ) Parents were wearing mask
and gloves. Took the child's temperature, used their own pen to sign in and wrote the child's temperature. Children were not scared of the mask
and very excited to see me. I had to go all the time out side the daycare to recieve the child. Reduced the time from 8 am till 3 pm, instead of 5 pm.
But today is the 5th day the week is over parents are following the guidelines. Instead of sending child's folder everyday I am showing the daily report to the parent. Its working very well no pressures. Children are happy parents are satisfied. Parents are talking to me on text.
