Recent Confusion over Face Masks Policies at Preschools (updated 08-12-2020)
The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department clarified the mask order for children two years old and older. It states that children 2 and older must wear a mask or face covering in public spaces. However, when in preschool or daycare, it is a recommendation but not a mandate to wear masks. Only 3rd graders and older are mandated to follow the mask order in school and in public. Community Care Licensing falls under the Santa Barbara County guidelines. They are asking us to “to do our best” to encourage the children to wear them. If they are having a hard time, they will take a break. We will offer every child break times during outside time.
