Principles for Child Care Policy During the Coronavirus Outbreak
Dear Child Care Partners,
As the nation grapples with the coronavirus outbreak, it is more clear than ever that child care is an essential need for families across the country. To guide federal and state policymakers as they actively work to address this crisis, CLASP created these policy principles [[link removed]] for supporting the child care and early education sector during this difficult time.
Our principles include:
*
The
health
and
safety
of
children
and
families,
early
childhood
educators,
and
the
broader
community
are
paramount.
*
Child
care
centers,
family
child
care
homes,
and
the
early
childhood
workforce
must
be
sustained
through
this
crisis
so
they
can
survive
economically,
remain
in
business,
and
reopen
afterwards.
*
Children
and
families
need
health,
nutrition,
educational,
and
economic
supports
during
this
time.
*
We
must
support
parents'
and
caregivers'
economic
security
throughout
the
crisis.
We hope these principles will help inform your own response to the crisis. Thank you for everything you're doing to support child care providers, families, and children and please stay safe during these challenging times.
Katherine Gallagher Robbins, Director of Child Care and Early Education
