[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New information:
After the Governor's press conference yesterday and the announcement made by Dr. Salmon, we want to be clear with the information that was relayed and provide clarification.

Please see attached the Parent and Provider FAQ, the Child Care Verification of Re-opening form and the memo in regards to group sizes and ratios.  
Rooms have a maximum now of 15 and ratios are now at a maximum of 1:14 MSDE has relaxed the ratio requirement in regulation temporarily, until the group sizes can go up to 20. 
There must be a qualified staff person in any 3 and 4 year old classroom.

Family child care will revert back to pre-COVID-19 regulations except they have a max of 15 persons, at any time, including residents, in their home.
 
Instead of an EPCC application, we will now use the Child Care Verification of Re-opening form.

School systems are now able to bring small groups of students and staff into school buildings- it is up to the Local School System (LSS) how they want to use their schools.  If child care programs and Head Starts want to use the schools, they need to discuss it with the LSS.

Current EPCC and EPSA programs do not need to complete a new form.  They do need to submit a personnel list and staffing pattern.  They also need a qualified staff person in the 3 and 4 year old classrooms.

New FAQs are posted - also attached here.
LS will be contacting each of the programs in their caseload (open and closed) to share these changes and provide TA if needed.

Any information on how this is going to work in Montgomery County?  The county still says you need to be an EPCC site and only some families are eligible to attend.[/quote]

I’m so confused. Isn’t the EPCC program over? If that’s the case, how can the county be requiring it? -DP[/quote]

They haven’t updated the page. Unless they’re creating their own EPCC program, which I wouldn’t put past Elrich at this point. Snort.[/quote]
