Licensed child care centres and agencies with active COVID-19 cases

This report lists child care centres and home child care agencies that currently have active cases of COVID-19.

Data includes :

• Child care centre or home child care agency
• Municipality
• Confirmed child cases
• Confirmed staff/provider cases
• Total confirmed cases

Note: Total number of confirmed cases may include other people (e.g., parents, other people who live at a home child care location), so the number of confirmed cases of children and staff may not equal the total number of confirmed cases.

This dataset summarizes the number of cases among child care attendees and staff reported to the Department of Public Health (DPH). Each week, licensed child care centers are required to report cases of COVID-19 among attendees and staff to the DPH and the local health department. There are 1,388 licensed child care centers and group child care homes in Connecticut that serve approximately 50,000 children. Beginning the week of January 9th, reporting transitioned from individual case reporting to aggregate reporting of cases among attendees and staff. The form for collecting aggregate data from child care centers can be found here: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=-nyLEd2juUiwJjH_abtzi-XnLB2c4-RLhUuoE9uLWJJUNURSR09GNlBBWFVIMlFaQ1BGUzcxMFNDUy4u Data are preliminary and, like other passive surveillance systems, under reporting occurs and the true incidence of disease is more than the number of cases reported. Data from previous weeks are updated as new data are received. Several weeks of data from the new reporting system will be needed to determine trends.

As a consequence of the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) child care facilities all over the world were temporarily closed to minimize the spread of the virus. In Netherlands, the first closure lasted for almost 2 months. The return to the child care center after this significant interruption was expected to be challenging, because earlier studies demonstrated that transitions into child care can be stressful for both children and their parents. The current paper retrospectively examined the distress of Dutch children (aged 0–4) and their parents during the first 2 weeks after the reopening of child care centers, and what factors accounted for individual differences in distress. In total, 694 parents filled out an online questionnaire about stress during closure and distress after the reopening of child care centers. Furthermore, questions regarding several demographic variables and child care characteristics were included, as well as questionnaires measuring child temperament, parental separation anxiety, and parental perception of the child care quality. Results showed that younger children and children with parents scoring higher on separation anxiety experienced more distress after the reopening, as reported by parents. Furthermore, children were more distressed upon return when they attended the child care center for less hours per week after the reopening, experienced less stress during closure, and grew up in a one-parent family. With regard to parental distress after the reopening, we found that parents scoring higher on separation anxiety and fear of COVID-19 experienced more distress. Moreover, parents experiencing less stress during closure and mothers were more distressed when the child returned to the child care center. Finally, concurrent child and parental distress after reopening were positively related. The results of the current study may help professional caregivers to identify which children and parents benefit from extra support when children return to the child care center after an interruption. Especially the role that parental separation anxiety played in predicting both child and parental distress deserves attention. More research is required in order to study the underlying mechanisms of these associations and to design appropriate interventions.

In a survey conducted in 2020, regarding whether or not respondents across the Asia Pacific region cared for children more during the coronavirus pandemic, ** percent of female respondents stated that they cared for children more. Comparatively, for the same survey ** percent of the male respondents in the Asia Pacific region stated that they did not usually care for children, therefore, it did not increase.

Family child care (FCC) is uniquely positioned to address challenges with insufficient early care and education supply and access in the United States. FCC programs were steadily declining before COVID-19, and many child care programs, both center- and home-based, were at risk of closure early in the pandemic. This study examined closure among Alabama FCC providers during COVID-19. Specifically, we examined the timing and predictors of FCC providers’ closure using discrete time-hazard modeling. We analyzed administrative data for the 788 FCC programs licensed in March 2020. Results have implications for mitigating FCC decline and identifying resources to support FCC providers’ continued operation.

The COVID-19 CARES Act Childcare Provider Grant Program provided eligible Family Home childcare providers a $15,000 grant and Childcare Centers a $40,000 grant. The program focused on marketing to and assisting childcare businesses that have been impacted and have suffered economic hardship due to COVID-19.

By exacerbating a pre-existing crisis of childcare in the United States, the COVID- 19 pandemic forced many parents to renegotiate household arrangements. What shapes parents’ preferences over different arrangements? In an online conjoint experiment we assess how childcare availability, work status and earnings, and the intra-household division of labor shape heterosexual American parents’ preferences over different situations. We find that while mothers and fathers equally value outside options for child-care, the lack of such options – a significant feature of the pandemic – does not significantly change their evaluations of other features of household arrangements. Parents’ preferences over employment, earnings, and how to divide up household labor exhibit gendered patterns, which persist regardless of childcare availability. By illustrating the micro-foundations of household decision-making under constraints, our findings help to make sense of women’s retrenchment from the labor market during the pandemic: a pattern which may have long-term economic and political consequences.

In a survey conducted in Japan in **********, around *** percent of male respondents and *** percent of female respondents stated that their time spent on housework and childcare significantly increased compared to before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. About **** percent of men and **** percent of women reported that the time spent on household chores and childcare remained largely unchanged.
