As the Department of Education resumes in-person early childhood services in the fall, most sites will be operating on a blended learning model. This will include some in-person services for a portion of the week and reduced class sizes in accordance with social distancing guidance.

On July 16, 2020, Mayor de Blasio announced that the City is planning to provide free child care options for 100,000 children from 3-K through 8th grade this fall.The City is working to have as many seats as possible ready for the first day of school, with capacity building out over time. For families who cannot stay home or find alternate care for their children on days they are not in school buildings, the City’s child care plan will provide relief.

Knowing that many families will need full-time child care, the DOE is looking to gauge interest from current providers in providing additional opportunities for child care at their existing sites. Please fill out this short survey if you are interested in learning more details about this opportunity.  

Thanks for your partnership.
