In the wake of the developing COVID-19 pandemic, many childcare facilities and schools are closing, causing added strain on employees and businesses during this already challenging time.

Join Let’s Grow Kids and VBSR as we share resources and guidance to support the child care needs of your “essential” and “non-essential” employees. We’ll also review the current status of state and local policy around child care, and hear an update from the child care field, including which child care facilities have closed, which are staying open, and how your business can help support these facilities.
