COVID-19 and child care settings to mirror the statewide requirements that were adjusted this spring. The updated version of the "Child Care Provider COVID-19 Requirements and Recommendations" is now available on the Early Learning Division "For Providers" webpage. 

Some of the key guidance changes include the following:

• Updated exclusion requirements and recommendations for child care
• Mask recommendations that encourage programs to support individual choice to wear a mask
• Updated recommendations for prevention strategies
• Who to notify if there’s a case of COVID-19 in a facility

Many of these changes have already been in effect. A number of resource documents are also available such a  “Respect my mask” sign for families, an updated exclusion chart, and masking handout.
