Nearly a Thousand COVID-19 Cases Reported in California Day Cares – NBC Bay Area
It’s the phone call that child care facilities have been dreading since the pandemic began.
Two siblings who attended Early Horizons in Sunnyvale had tested positive for COVID-19.
“They didn’t have any symptoms,” said Antonio Labrador, the director of the center. The kids’ parents felt some symptoms on June 24 but dropped their children off at the day care anyway.
When they felt sick the next day, June 25, the whole family got tested. Everyone was positive for the coronavirus. That meant that the kids could have been spreading the virus at the center as they played with other children the previous day.
This was personal for Labrador. He and his wife had a baby in February, and their newborn was also at Early Horizons. He stepped into emergency mode.
“What do we need to do to make sure everyone stays safe and it’s not spreading,” he said. He and his team decided to close the center immediately.
“We did require all our parents and kids to have a negative result by July 8th or later in order for them to return,” said Early Horizons Child Care Director Antonio Labrador, after two children at the center tested postive for COVID-19 in late June.
(NBC Bay Area July 12, 2020)
“We shut down the school house, called parents, had them come pick up their children and shut the school down,” said Labrador.
That was June 26, two days after the potential exposure. After more than two weeks of quarantine, there have been no new infections that they know of – and Early Horizons reopened on Monday.
“We have it set
up right now where if you do have a case in a classroom, we wouldn’t need to
shut down the whole center,” said Labrador.
The Investigative Unit has obtained new data Wednesday that shows 998 positive cases of the virus at child care facilities across California in the four months between March 11 and July 12.
The cases are up 12% since last week, according to California’s Department of Social Services, which recently started compiling the cases at child care facilities and will continue posting weekly on its website, along with resources and guidelines for child care businesses.
Scott Murray, Deputy Director of Public Affairs for DSS points out that the 998 positive COVID-19 cases represent child care staff, children attending the centers, and their parents, across more than 38,000 child care facilities in the state.
In fact, parents and staff made up most of the COVID-19 cases documented at day cares. At larger child care centers, only 18% of the cases were kids, 45% were staff and 31% were parents (5% is categorized as “other”). At family-owned child care homes, children made up an even smaller percentage. They reflected 17% of the cases while parents reflected 37% and staff 22%.
By county, Los Angeles tops the list with 170 cases. It has, by far, the most facilities open during this pandemic. In the Bay Area, Santa Clara County had 28 cases. Alameda County had 19, Contra Costa 14, Marin 13 And Solano 11.
Every child care service NBC Bay Area interviewed for this story described a “cohort system” by which kids are limited to a small group of 10 to 12 children. Parents are barred from entering the facility or the home. There are mandatory temperature checks at the door, and questions to make sure neither the parents, their kids, nor anyone in the home has been exposed to the coronavirus.
At one center, Kindercare, there’s a new app so that parents can see videos and photos of their kids throughout the day.
The pandemic is shining a light on something we’ve known forever – that child care is essential,” said Susan Gilmore, CEO of North Bay Children’s Center. (NBC Bay Area, June 30, 2020)
Despite the vastly increased safety measures, North Bay Children’s Center had its own COVID-19 scare.
“We were notified by the health department, by public health, that two children in our toddler program who are related tested positive for COVID through contact tracing,” said Susan Gilmore, the center’s CEO, adding, “these are kids that never would have been tested. They were asymptomatic, went through the check-in every morning, taking their temperature.”
The parents of the two kids reported that the children had been exposed to COVID-19 by an aunt who contracted the virus. “We shut down that cohort, that classroom,” said Gilmore, “So all 10 children were tested – all the teachers were tested.
“.
“I do worry about it,” said Liz Levatino, who drops her child off at an Oakland day care. Levatino and her husband both have full time jobs. “You’re faced with an impossible choice like your livelihood or your child,” said Levatino.
“It has been wonderful having child care back,” said Liz Levatino, after she and her husband juggled 12-hour work shifts and caring for their toddler during the lockdown.” (NBC Bay Area, July 8, 2020)
“It’s a very valid concern,” said Labrador, the Early Horizon’s Director, after the center deep cleaned and sanitized its facility.
“We do have a
consent forms for parents to sign that they know the risk. But I mean, just
make sure the centers are doing everything possible just to make sure they’re
not spreading,” he said.
Child care providers tell NBC Bay Area they’re struggling to keep up with changing guidelines as they try their best to keep kids safe.
One rule from the CDC requires child care workers to change all of a child’s clothing each time they cry – and then change their own shirt as well.
State guidelines require kids to nap in cots that are six feet apart at nap time while arranging cots feet to head alternately. The logistics of that are a challenge for many child care providers, especially the smaller home services.
“We’re building the plane as we’re flying it,” said Philip Mayard, Marketing Director for the Children’s Council of San Francisco. Mayard said that under normal circumstances about 1,000 licensed child care sites operate in San Francisco but that number dropped to 150 sites from mid-March through the end of April.
“The child care landscape is much more optimistic right now than it was six weeks ago,” said Mayard. Right now, there are 601 child care sites open in the city, 470 home-based locations and 131 centers. Of the facilities that are open now, many told NBC Bay Area that they’re operating at less than half of their capacity to accommodate social distancing.
For availability of child care statewide, the Department of Social Services has an interactive map that shows available services by zip code: covid19.

15 facts about American kindergartens: elenpr — LiveJournal
Hello friends.
Today – a few moments about American kindergartens. I will leave all my ahas and sighs behind the scenes, because since I took my child to such a place, I will “love and accept” him …
1. In America, kindergartens are called “day care” or “child care”. Infant crèches – “nursery”. The word “kindergarden”, which we memorized in Russia, is here called the zero grade of the school, where children begin to go from the age of 5. nine0003
2. Kindergartens here are very different. Mostly private. There are specialized ones – Waldorf, Montessori, etc.
A lot of gardens are organized at churches. There are also small, “family” ones – when an experienced mother takes three, four, five children to her home. By the way, the activities of any kindergarten, even “home” must be licensed.
“Average” American kindergartens
3. Children are “accepted” to kindergartens from 6 weeks. Incidentally, official maternity leave in the United States lasts only 12 weeks, and is not paid by the employer. Unless the insurance will cover it. America is a country of capitalism. Although, how do you agree with the employer …
4. An interesting observation: kindergartens are most often built near the road – for the convenience of working parents.
5. a) The cost of orchards depends on many factors – location, specialization, promotion, availability of feeding, etc. You can find cheaper – dollars for 600-800 per month. There are super expensive ones too. On average, a kindergarten costs somewhere between 1000-1400 dollars a month.
And this, by the way, is not the most expensive “option”. Hiring a nanny or babysitter will be much more expensive.
5. b) More about money. There is such a thing as an initial payment (initial registration fee). It is paid when parents want to “take” a place in a particular kindergarten – for example, for paperwork. In our garden, it is somewhere around $125 (in 2018). If, for example, there are no places in a particular garden at the moment, then parents will have to wait. Maybe a month, maybe six months – whoever is lucky. We waited half a year to get into a group for children under 2 years old. nine0003
And there is also an annual fee (annual registration fee) – to save a place for the baby for the next year – about $ 100.
6. Absenteeism. There is no strict regime in the kindergarten, no one will require a certificate of the reason for “truancy”, as is the case in schools. If the child is ill, it is enough just to call and warn the management that the baby will not come.
But you still have to pay for this time, even if the child has been ill for a week, or even two…
this period (depending on the policy of the kindergarten). In our garden, it is allowed to take 2 weeks of vacation per year – they are paid at half the rate. nine0003
8. In summer, some gardens are closed for holidays, but in the “standard” kindergartens there is a “summer camp” option. True, for it you need to pay a one-time extra about $ 100 (depending on the kindergarten). The money will be spent on summer entertainment for the kids: clown, T-shirts, excursions, ice cream… The coolest moment is that the child can be taken away for the whole summer and sent to her grandmother (if any). Pay the kindergarten an annual fee – and until the fall the parents do not owe the garden anything. A significant amount is saved, you know…
9. Each group has at least 2 teachers. Below I have written the names of the groups using the example of our kindergarten (they may vary slightly), as well as the age and number of children in them.
- Infant – 3 weeks to 1 year – 8 people.
- Toddler – 1-2 years old – 10 people
- Discovery preschool – 2-3 years – 12 people
- Preschool – 3-4 years old – 20-25 people
- Prekindergarten (PreK) – 4-5 years old – 20-25 people
- Kindergarten – 5-6 years old – 20-25 people nine0030
Preschool group. There is only one room – they sleep, play and eat in it. Groups for younger kids are smaller.
10. Every year the child moves from one group to another. Right in the literal sense – changes the room and teachers. And friends at the same time. This was done, most likely, so that children from the cradle mastered the art of communication.
11. To the question of nutrition. In some gardens, it is customary to bring your own food. In other children, they still feed. For breakfast, they can give breakfast cereals with milk, for lunch – pizza, burger, macaroni and cheese. For an afternoon snack – snacks, yogurt.
In our kindergarten, children are fed with berries and vegetables. Nikitos loved broccoli. oh how! nine0003 Weekly menu example
12. Daytime sleep – nap-time. They don’t bother with him either. In some kindergartens, small mattresses are simply spread on the floor. In others, sleeping bags brought by their parents. In our garden there is something like a crib (cot), I call it “trough”. A diaper is laid on top. Blanket – your own, from home. And, of course, the kids sleep in clothes and shoes. I already mentioned this in one of my posts. Sleep is about 2-2.5 hours. If one of the children does not want to sleep, he can lie quietly in the crib. In our garden there is a special honors board, where each child who behaved well during sleep is given an asterisk. If you accumulate some, they will give you a prize. Such is the motivation. nine0003 Stacked cribs
13. Walks. There is such an option. Only in our kindergarten it will be at least 2 times a day for half an hour, if the weather is lucky.
Because there are only 2 playgrounds for all groups: for kids under 3 years old and for those who are older. In general, with walks in kindergartens, as I understand it, they don’t bother much. Although there are fancy gardens where children have free access to the playground: if you want, you go.
14. In many average kindergartens, children learn a second language. Most often it is Spanish – it is considered the second most common in America. I can’t wait until Nikitos speaks… 😊
15. Teachers also write reports on the topic “how was the child’s day”. Reports are sent to parents by e-mail or simply placed in individual folders, which is for each child. By the way, all notices for parents, as well as crafts for children, are placed in such folders.
Actually, that’s all I wanted to tell you about kindergartens. If you have questions – write. Maybe I’ll remember.
Kindergarten teachers in California hosted a trance party for toddlers
On the eve of the election, Joe Biden is no less willing to give interviews on the topic of LGBT.
In relation to non-traditional orientation and gender reassignment, the president is as liberal as possible. True, in some states his message is taken too literally. In California, kindergarten teachers organized a trance party for kids: boys play the role of girls, and they, in turn, vice versa. Moreover, one of the sponsors of the event was a gender reassignment clinic.
And after a whole series of similar incidents, as Anna Voropay became convinced, the mutual love of Biden and the gay community can deprive the Democratic Party of the chances of winning the upcoming elections to Congress. nine0003
American parents are shocked. Unfortunately, already familiar. Their children were invited to come to the dress-up party. It would seem like an ordinary masquerade, if not for one condition. You need to transform into persons of the opposite sex.
“Our message is very simple. Stop sexualizing our children. We don’t want a strip show, we don’t want a drag show. There is no need to send out such invitations in our area, ” is outraged by Carrie’s parent Prejean Boller.
Dozens of outraged dads and moms gathered outside the San Diego school district office in California. They are frightened that the invitations were sent out by official representatives of educational institutions. nine0003
“The school board broke their own rules. They must not spread anything indecent, nothing political, nothing controversial. But these are invitations to a party sponsored by a gender reassignment clinic and a gay club in San Diego!” – doesn’t hold back Brittany Meyer’s emotions.
A heated debate about the acceptability of children’s books with sexual themes in libraries erupted in one of the school boards in Michigan. Representatives of the Muslim community were sharply opposed. nine0003
“A normal person would say that this material is too explicit for children.”
“Criticism of material that should be subject to age restrictions is not an attack on the LGBT community.”
There is a scandal in Connecticut with similar overtones.
