During this COVID-19, CDC recommends that everyone 2 years and older wear a cloth face covering that covers their nose and mouth in public settings when around people not living in your household, particularly where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
During this crisis time, we make sure children wash their hands often with soap and warm water, following four steps: wet hands and fingers, apply soap and wash for 20 seconds, rinse hands well, and dry with paper towel.
Children are 2-year-old and over must wear a mask at daycare and the parent, I disinfect my home thoroughly through out the day. Children don't share toys only one at a time. After child played with a toy it is wiped down (disinfect) before giving to another child. I wiped down (disinfect) stairway handle, tables, chairs, door knob, mats, toys, pencils, markers, etc. Children are given their own set of school supplies and wiped down after using school supplies and placed in a zip lock bag with their name. Children are six feet social distance from their peers at daycare.
