Yes. The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has created Guidelines for Safe Child Care Operations During COVID-19.
This document provides tools to help providers make the best decisions possible to limit the spread of COVID-19 and to create safe spaces for children and staff members. We will continue to update the document based on our best knowledge and partner with the field to learn about how we fight this virus while providing quality child care.
Families should ask their child care providers what they’re doing to respond to COVID-19. All providers have a COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan. Families can request to see these plans at any time.
Workers that need help finding childcare should visit Help Me Grow or call 211 to complete the brief form explaining what they need.
Once the form is submitted, someone from your community will contact you within 48 hours to connect you with childcare providers that are open and have space to serve your children. This is a connection service. There will be a charge for childcare.
