Need Maskless private school recommendations for 5 year old
Just a heads up, I too am pro vax, pro science, and pro choice to mask. My five-year-old has been attending a private Montessori Spanish immersion for two years. We are looking to move to a different Montessori Spanish immersion if not language immersion Montessori, or private, or Christian in oakland, piedmont, or alameda. Looking for any good recommendations for schools that aren’t forcing children to mask or at least given a choice. Since the pandemic my five-year-old school has been continuously wearing mask indoors and outdoors which I think is ridiculous. He’s also exhibiting learning and reading issues but is excelling in other areas such as science math and art and music. My 3 year old twins have been in a dare care setting where masks have not been worn, only by the teachers and they’ve had the same amount of covid outbreaks 1-3 every few months or so as my five-year-old school has had with the strict mask policies and weekly Covid testing. We’re thinking of moving to a different school even though we like the school minus the mask policy, because when we questioned the masks and the science, we were told we could leave. That was the solution! Looking for any great recommendations from past parents at other schools.

There are several schools without masks i believe. Our son goes to berkewood hedge, its not an immersion but they have spanish lessons. Its an incredible school with many aspects of montessori. They have been very rational during the pandemic, which I appreciated greatly, focusing on in person and whats best for kids. I am with you in terms if pro vax and science, and am very worried about what masking and the closures have done to our kids .
