The following email was sent to child care providers on April 24 by UFT Family Child Care Providers Chapter Chair Tammie Miller.

If your child care program remains open, you may have questions and concerns about how to safely manage your program during the COVID-19 pandemic. I want to share this guidance for child care programs that remain open from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Learn more about:

• Social distancing strategies
• Child drop off and pickup
• Screening children upon arrival
• Cleaning and disinfecting
• Caring for infants and toddlers
• Hand hygiene
• Food preparation and meal service
• Vulnerable and high-risk groups

We encourage you to continue safe practices. You may read the CDC's full guidance in English and Spanish.
