Early Childhood Investment Corporation has developed a COVID-19 resources page to help our state, regional, and local partners navigate the developing information about coronavirus. There are many things we can do to help lessen the spread of this disease and its negative impact on young children and their families.

Our growing list of resources, from the government and the private and nonprofit sectors, for families with young children and for organizations that serve young children and families includes information on the following topics:

– Critical Resources during this Emergency, including where to find information on today’s Stay-at-Home Executive Order

– Child Care and the Essential Workforce during this Emergency:

– How to find child care if you are a member of the critical infrastructure and essential workforce

– Latest child care subsidy payment information

– Information for child care providers who are willing to stay open or re-open to help during this emergency

– Resources for Families and Parents:

– Where to access meals for children during school closure

– Hotline to connect with statewide resources (diapers, food, rental assistance, bus fare, etc.)

– How to navigate talking with children about COVID-19

– Learning activities for children

– Resources for Child Care Businesses:

Every day, we will update the COVID-19 and Early Childhood page and distribute content through the ECIC Facebook page. Please send us your questions or suggestions for additional resources and content that we can share.
