COVID 19 Guidance Documents for Programs and Parents

Linked below are three documents that were shared with licensed and registered child care programs: a Dear Provider letter, Guidance for Parents Seeking Child Care, and a poster for child care programs to post.

These documents also apply to legally-exempt providers and programs. However, legally-exempt group programs need only to post the linked poster.  Please read this information and familiarize yourself with the content.  All of these documents will be posted on the OCFS website and translated.  They will not be sent out in the mail but will be emailed to all licensed and registered programs with an email address in CCFS. 

Information regarding Novel Coronavirus is evolving rapidly.  You and your programs can stay informed by checking the NYS Department of Health website regularly for updates: https://www.health.ny.gov/diseases/communicable/coronavirus/. 

We will continue to provide resources and information whenever possible.
