Here is the latest information and resources for Ohio child care providers from June 12, 2020.
A Shift in Our Communication With You
Thank you for allowing 4C for Children to be a daily part of your journey over the last few months as we have all navigated the impact COVID-19 has had on child care, our families and all aspects of our lives.
As you take time to adjust to the many changes of caring for children due to the pandemic, we’re adjusting how we communicate with you. After this issue, we’ll be connecting you with resources and training/coaching information on a weekly basis instead of daily. So keep your eyes on your inbox on June 15 for the first weekly issue of Pathways!
You can still count on us to share breaking news related to your child care business. Visit https://www.4cforchildren.org/about/covid-19-information/ for all of the documents and information we’ve shared through the pandemic so far. Please email coaching@4cforchildren.org if you need any further information or assistance.
