SUMMARY:Facts about COVID-19 and Quality Child Care
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to access child care services during the COVID-19 health crisis? Join the Pennsylvania Child Care Association on September 2 for their webinar\, “Facts about COVID-19 and High-Quality Child Care.” \nAbout\nChild care is highly regulated in Pennsylvania and the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) has responded to COVID-19 with updated regulations and guidelines to keep children and providers safe. However\, some of these are suggestions\, not requirements; some clash with best practices for child development; and some are difficult to implement with very young children. \nIn this webinar\, participants will learn about the pros and cons of different child care settings\, what to expect from child care providers\, and which questions to ask if you’re still searching for one that’s right for you and your child. The session will feature Susan Coffin\, MD\, MPH\, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s leading expert of COVID-19 and a great resource in creating CHOP’s FAQ for centers and families; a parent; and child care providers from both center-based and home-based settings. \nRegister\nThis webinar is best suited for parents and caretakers of children birth to age five. To register\, visit the event webpage. \nSubmit A Question\nYou may ask questions in advance (anonymously if you prefer) by emailing shawn.towey@pacca.org\, or you can enter them in the chatbox during the session. \nShare this flyer with your network. \nTweetSharePinShare0 Shares
