You can't control others and daycare is one of those businesses that applies to tenfold.

If YOU are concerned and know the family is doing things that make you uncomfortable, stop accepting them into care.
You can say something to the mother if you want but in all honesty, she probably won't stop doing what she's doing and if pressed by you will more than likely just stop telling you or will out right lie about it.

If she is being risky with her own and her children's health, it's safe to assume she isn't going to change her ways for your health or that of your family's.

Even if you agreed originally to social distance, you said the state is starting to re-open so that will be her justification for doing what she's doing.

Im sorry you are dealing with this. It is frustrating and causes anxiety on many levels but you can only do you.

I know many of my families are social distancing and being super cautious while many of the others are not. I just take the steps necessary in care that I need to take to make me feel better and/or safe. We sanitize alot, wash hands 10x more than before and I exclude for ANY known exposure as well as any symptoms no matter how small.

It's all I can realistically do to control my environment.
