The 2020 Census: Part 4 Why Children are Undercounted

Experts are already predicting that children younger than 5 will be significantly undercounted, by more than 2 million kids in some estimates. It’s important to count young children accurately now so they have the resources they need for years to come.

In Solidarity with Early Care and Education Programs Across the Nation

What has become abundantly clear to the nation these past few weeks (though we’ve known all along) is that early care and education is an essential service that holds up all others. While many small businesses closed to fight the spread of COVID-19, it was apparent that child care was in a league of it’s own. At-risk children and those whose parents are working in other “essential positions” without alternative care, need safe and healthy places to be during this emergency.

Emergency Care Plan Documents

This guidance is for programs that meet the size threshold established in EO #6, that elect to continue operating, to understand how to help prevent the transmission of COVID-19 within their facilities and among their workforce. It also aims to help programs react quickly should a case be identified. The guidance includes considerations to help administrators plan for the continuity of caring for children. It is important that all programs currently operating provide the same level of care and health precautions for staff and children. As you move forward with this work, you must establish communication with your DCF licensor to notify them of any and all plans you have to provide emergency care.
