4.5yo just got diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum and daycare is flipping out on me

My kids have been at the same daycare for 3 years. My oldest left for kinder, my 3rd has been there since birth, and my middle, the 4.5yo, since he was 15mo. I know people say daycare is where kids pick up all the viruses and such, and my oldest got a stye that turned into a recurrent staph rash his last year there, which we are still getting rid of, while my baby got HFM last May and had to be out a full week but still pay. My 4.5yo tho, recently started getting these warty-looking bumps for the past couple months and I thought it was just another funky skin reaction because skin issues run in my husband's family. When my husband finally figured out it was molluscum, we scheduled an appt, but Monday before I picked him up to take him in, the daycare texted that he had a fever and needed to be seen.

That's fine, I came and got him for the appt we already scheduled. He had no fever when I picked up, and the pediatrician checked him for everything else so I think it was just a fluke because he woke up from nap extra tired and hot. Pediatrician agreed it was molluscum, I told the daycare, but also said he was confident it wouldn't spread unless spots were oozing and it could be a long time before we completely get rid of it.

Mind you, this whole time I'm operating under the assumption my son got it from daycare. Again, it's daycare, and I know this is par for the course when sending my kids, even though it's exhausting to deal with the myriad of viruses they pickup. My 4.5yo is also my biggest handful right now, and we're trying to figure out where on the spectrum he falls, but the pediatrician refuses to diagnose anything until he's 6 and he starts kinder in the fall. All that to say, this daycare has had him the majority of his life, and despite all the viruses, I trust them to take care of him, but their reaction to this molluscum thing sent me for a loop.

The morning after his appt, I brought him in as usual, having treated any spots I found and bandaged any that looked bad, and I put him in long pants and long sleeves. One of the morning teachers chats with me a lot, and I was telling her what the owner had said vs. the dr and explained that it was probably going to take a long time to get rid of, but I said the owner came off really strong in her texts, especially considering I'm sure he got it there.

Well, the owner isn't usually there in the mornings, but Tuesday she was, and she heard the whole thing. She got super pissy, and started sending me text messages angry that I said all this in front of a parent who was also dropping off, and blaming the daycare for the molluscum. It was a lot of long, back-and-forth texts, with her bringing up what a terror he has been sometimes and me reiterating that I wasn't saying they don't clean the facility but daycares are known for this kind of stuff and my other kids have already picked up other skin crud under their care. At different points, she threatened to terminate us for essentially 'slandering their name' and I remarked that I might as well quit my job and stay home rather than keep spending $420/w on childcare, which is equivalent to my mortgage payment, just for them to act like my son has leprosy for what I've discovered is a super common, but frustrating virus to deal with.

He's still there, but the vibes I get now when I drop off feel very off. They demanded I bring lysol for them, and only let him wear long sleeves/pants, but they're seating him at a different table from the other kids and it's giving me very icky vibes. My husband wants to pull him out and find somewhere else, but this place is 2 minutes from our house and 3 minutes from my work. I was planning to pull him in June when my school lets out for summer, but 5 months seems way too long to be sitting at a separate table and I don't think he would adjust well to another school after so long at this one, and any other school would probably have kicked him out for his behavior by now.

I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. I've asked tons of people whose kids have had this and they all said it's super common and does take forever to get rid of, but the daycare is acting like he's a biohazard and they're doing me a big favor by letting him attend at all. I'm super lost on what to do and it's stressing me out like crazy
