About

The website is about how COVID-19 spreads in child care programs in the U.S. It links to a 25-page report about a survey conducted by Yale University of more than 55,000 child care providers from May and June 2020 in the United States that helps provide some answers to the safety of child care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes the ways that child care centers have been affected by the virus and what measures they are taking to keep children safe. The website highlights important safety practices like wearing masks, frequent handwashing, and social distancing to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 in these settings.
