Child care programs provide essential support for children in their care as well as for working families. In the past few months, and especially in the month of October, there has been a significant increase in the number of COVID-19 outbreaks in child care. The Office of Early Childhood (OEC) is urging all child care providers to continue to do their part in helping fight the spread of COVID-19.
Visit the OEC website for additional resources on how to respond to COVID-19 and use their to ensure your program’s practices are aligned with the recommended response to COVID-19. If an outbreak at your program occurs, always follow the guidance of El Paso County Public Health. The goal is to limit community spread while still allowing child care providers to serve the maximum number of families and children safely.
