Update for Ohio Providers: ODJFS Toolkit; Re-opening Coaching Next Week

May 22, 2020

Here’s a quick snapshot of the latest resources and information we have today, May 22, 2020.

ODJFS Toolkit Available

ODJFS has developed a Transitional Pandemic Child Care Toolkit to assist programs in their reopening efforts. Several items have been added to the toolkit including a document on “Using Dividers to Create Separate Spaces in Child Care Centers” as well as a recording of the “Child Care, Mental Health and COVID-19” training. The following additional guidance will be added in the next week.

  • staff/child ratios and group size
  • portable sinks
  • a crosswalk of the transitional child care rules with best practices, and
  • a recorded training on “Best Practices for Child Care Programs During COVID-19.”

Coaching Sessions Focused on Re-opening

4C for Children is partnering with Southwest Ohio AEYC and the Montgomery County Preschool Promise to deliver a four-day Zoom series of focused work groups for providers preparing to re-open programs. These work groups will take place next Tuesday through Friday from 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m. and will cover the following topics:

Tuesday: Classroom Redesign
