Emergency Child Care for Essential Government Employees

Because the coronavirus poses serious risks to public health and safety, the best option for families is to keep their children at home with them.

For workers employed at essential businesses, however, child care outside the home might be a necessity. The Bowser Administration is working to ensure that essential workers who need child care have options.
