COVID-19: Charting the Course for Child Care Summit

August 07, 2020

Child care plays a key role in support of other essential industries during the COVID-19 crisis. There is no ‘business as usual’ in the face of a pandemic and child care programs are facing the challenge of finding new ways to operate inside of ‘the new normal.’
