Hey all!

I took a year off from running a home daycare and got licensed again in February of this year. I have not actually started back up yet due to this whole pandemic situation and me being really scared of getting reinfected (I had COVID in early March). I do want to make an income again though so I am thinking about looking for families to take care of now.

I have the following questions for you guys about running a daycare in these times:

1. Have you downsized the amount of toys you have out?
2. Did you have to get rid of wooden and plush toys?
3. Do you disinfect the outdoor play equipment every day?
4. Do you have the children wear masks and stay away from each other the whole day?
5. What do you use for disinfectant? I am worried about not being able to find as much as I need.
6. Do you allow interviews inside your house or only through Zoom? It seems like some families I have talked to are opposed to just dropping their children off after not meeting me in person.

Sorry this is so long. Any help is appreciated!
