The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has specific guidelines for child care programs that remain open under state coronavirus restrictions.
In Michigan, child care has been deemed an essential service under the governor’s coronavirus restrictions.
The CDC said the guidelines are intended to provide guidance for a range of child care programs, including:
Family child care programs, also known as home-based child care
Pre-K (Pre-kindergarten) programs at private and public schools
Head Start and Early Head Start programs
Private child care centers
Temporary child care centers operated by municipalities for the children of essential service providers, such as first responders, healthcare workers, transit workers, and other industries where a parent cannot stay home
Child care centers that partner with healthcare facilities to support healthcare workers who need child care
The guidelines include:
Requiring sick children and staff to stay home
Having a plan if someone is or becomes sick, such as an isolation room to isolate a sick child
Monitoring and planning for staff absenteeism
Reviewing plans for implementing social distancing strategies
