April Coronavirus Update

We hope this finds you and your family well. It is a scary time, and The Childcare Network wants you to know that we are still here for you. Our office will only have people in there periodically, but you can reach us by email or phone. We did want to clear up some questions that you might have.

1. What should I do with my menus?

USDA providers still need to turn their menus in on time. You can still mail them in. If you usually drop them off, you can only enter the building between 8:00 and 5:00, Monday through Friday. You will not be allowed to go upstairs, but you can put them in our mailbox in the downstairs lobby. The building is closed on weekends.

Coronavirus pandemic update

The Childcare Network / Child Care Aware of Northern Virginia staff have been busy answering questions and gathering information during this challenging time. We want you to know that we are available to help you. We can be reached by phone and/or email. If you call, and no one answers, please leave a message. While the outbreak intensifies, we have stopped doing on-site visits.

Per Governor Northam's orders, all training classes have been cancelled through April 24, 2020. Please stay tuned for information on training courses taking place after this date.

Child Care and Preschool Pandemic Influenza Planning Checklist

The CDC has provided a printable checklist for childcare providers and programs to ensure you are prepared for a pandemic.

From the document:

A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. A flu pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges that people have little or no immunity to and for which there may be no vaccine. The disease spreads easily personto-person and causes serious illness. It can sweep across the country and around the world very quickly. It is hard to predict when the next flu pandemic will occur or how bad it will be.
