We are all concerned about how we move forward during this pandemic. I hear your concern about children in preschool not being capable of social distancing but I beg to differ.
At the daycare/preschool that I assist at with reading classes we have been able for the most part to keep the children distanced. Children who present with even a flu are not allowed to congregate, they are isolated and then parents are advised that until the child recovers, in the best interest of the other children they be kept at home. That happened like twice during my time there, before lockdown.
Sometimes children respond differently to teachers than they do at home. They also mimic what they see their friends doing so if teachers can get a few children to obey their commands, pretty soon all the others fall in line, especially if that good behaviour is rewarded with praise.
If we wait until January to re-open preschool and daycare the toddlers would in most cases loose a year of tuition. Another thing to take into consideration is how using either a tv screen or computer for prolonged periods will affect the eyesight of these young children.
The thing is, pre-school and day-care providers do not feel that they have been given a voice in the discussion.
Perhaps a discussion with these providers and also some parents whose lives are affected could help to come to a better conclusion.
I think that the Early Childhood sector has suffered great losses for the past two years and it is time to address it.

I keep asking what about single parent with no one to watch their child/children and the work place does not understand I work at MSJMC and for their sake alone I leave my children with a serial killer or a rapist so there work can get done or maybe they want that to be a pressure for me to resign after all these years so they don’t have to pay me off … No one wants to babysit and people that are family that I trust with my children came in contact with COVID 19….. My work place is not even empathizing with me but I’ll leave it in Gods hands and let his will be done.
