Dear Early Care and Education Stakeholders,
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has launched the web-based COVID-19 Early Care and Education Toolkit. The toolkit is designed as a resource to help early care and education programs – centers and family child care homes – respond to COVID-19. Guidance documents, templates and answers to frequently asked questions have been selected from local, state and national resources. The toolkit is intended as a one-stop for early care and education programs to manage community mitigation at your sites and report COVID-19 cases if and when they occur.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has revised the COVID-19 “Guidance for Early Care and Education Providers” and reformatted it into a checklist. Revisions are highlighted in yellow. The guidance is available for download at http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/docs/education/GuidanceEarlyChildhoodEducation.pdf.
An array of DPH materials pertaining to early care and education programs, including the revised guidance, also is available on the Early Care & Education
COVID-19 Toolkit site at http://ph.lacounty.gov/acd/ncorona2019/EducationToolkit/ECE/
Translation of the revised guidance is currently underway and will be posted on the Toolkit site as soon as it becomes available.
