Those providers who are open are serving less than half the children they did before the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Now, those in the early childhood field are wondering what the future holds for child care in the state and how our economy can survive without this crucial support. With programs serving only 38% of the total number of children they were serving prior to COVID-19, the question remains, how long can this be sustained? And will those who were forced to close ever be able to reopen?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur concern is that just a few months from now, if we know one out of every two child care programs won\u2019t be able to survive, there\u2019s not going to be enough space for all the children and families who need early care and education,\u201d said Eric Bucher, executive director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azaeyc.org\/\">Arizona Association for the Education of Young Children<\/a> (AzAEYC).<\/p>\n<p>The majority of child care providers are small businesses, and this crisis may mean financial collapse for many of them. Of the 34% of providers that have remained closed, 49% report insufficient financial resources are a barrier to reopening.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ftf-stg.magnetry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Barriers-to-opening.png\" alt=\"chart of barriers child care centers face\" width=\"800\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Statewide efforts to provide support<\/h2>\n<p>FTF has continued to support Arizona\u2019s early child care industry through a variety of ways during the pandemic, including continued funding of <a href=\"https:\/\/qualityfirstaz.com\/\">Quality First<\/a> scholarships to providers, even if the center closed or is caring for a reduced number of children, said Amy Corriveau, chief program officer at First Things First. In addition, Quality First providers can get help in figuring out how to implement new safety and social distancing guidelines and how to continue providing a quality early learning experience in the COVID-19 era, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Other state partners have done their part to help, too. The Arizona Department of Economic Security has continued to fund child care subsidy payments to participating providers. Like the Quality First scholarships, this ensures providers have a certain amount of reliable funding to cover recurring expenses like rent, utilities and staffing. The Governor\u2019s Office also created Enrichment Centers to provide child care for essential workers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arizonaenrichmentcenters.az.gov\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32129\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ftf-stg.magnetry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/LN-ad-Enrichment-Centers-1.png\" alt=\"enrichment center ad with kids playing\" width=\"600\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>As statewide Director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azccrr.com\/\">Arizona Child Care Resource and Referral<\/a> (CCR&amp;R), Michelle Saint Hilarie said she\u2019s already seen child care rates increasing as child care providers struggle to keep their doors open and maintain quality as declining enrollment reduces revenue, while at the same time, the cost of personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies increase.<\/p>\n<p>The provider has to cover the costs of smaller class sizes and either has to raise tuition or at a certain point, it becomes unsustainable and they are forced to close. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/azeca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AZECA-Child-Care-Infographic-FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statewide survey<\/a> of 831 providers from all 15 counties in the state showed that 40% of programs have had to lay off or furlough staff. In the future, once families start back to work, their previous child care center may not be there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that\u2019s going to be the reality,\u201d Saint Hilarie said. \u201cFamilies are going to be turning to child care and there\u2019s going to be a rude awakening because it\u2019s not going to be available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Pima County, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedwaytucson.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona<\/a> continues to be proactive, reminding the public and policymakers that \u201cchild care is a critical piece for all businesses to flourish again,\u201d said LaVonne Douville, United Way\u2019s chief impact officer.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives from the United Way and CCR&amp;R have been calling child care providers in Pima County reminding them that as small businesses, they are eligible for grants through a variety of sources and to offer help to fill out the applications.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/azeca.org\/\">Arizona Early Childhood Alliance<\/a>, which comprises 40 cross-sector partners statewide, including FTF, with the goal of ensuring all Arizona children are prepared for kindergarten and ready to succeed in school, recently released a <a href=\"https:\/\/azeca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AZECA-Child-Care-Crisis-Report_DRAFT_FINAL-CHANGES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">policy brief<\/a> outlining how the child care crisis threatens Arizona\u2019s COVID-19 recovery and solutions for policymakers to consider.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unplanned disenrollment of children, sustained closures, and lack of essential materials may lead to the biggest child care crisis in modern history,\u201d the policy brief stated. \u201cVarious data sources suggest that between one-third and two-thirds of centers remained closed at the beginning of July 2020, and a survey of providers revealed many programs would not be able to remain open or reopen without financial assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ftf-stg.magnetry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/US-program-closures.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The provider struggle<\/h2>\n<p>Beth Frost, director of Foresite Learning Center in Flagstaff, which is one of the 49% of Arizona child care providers that has remained open throughout the pandemic, described navigating through coronavirus as the \u201cgreatest challenge I have ever faced as a preschool owner and director.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a Quality First participant, the Quality First scholarship funding remained in place and Frost and her staff implemented additional procedures to provide children, their families and staff with a safe and low-risk environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has not been an easy endeavor, but my staff and I feel it has been worth it after seeing how thankful families were\/are and how the students were so happy to have Foresight remain a familiar environment and have a little normal in such abnormal times,\u201d Frost said.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to overwhelm providers, instead, we want to provide things to consider that can help mitigate the risk.\u201d Sarah Harrison of First Things First<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For those Quality First participants, like Foresite, who kept their doors open and for those working toward reopening, FTF funds child care health consultants who are working to provide a set of guidelines to help them operate safely.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Harrison, an FTF program specialist in children\u2019s health, said the <a href=\"http:\/\/azearlychildhood.org\/resources\/articles\/arizona-quality-first-recommendations-for-safe-child-care-operations-during-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">14-page document<\/a> is designed to be simple to read and implement. The guide can be accessed on the Arizona Early Childhood Career and Professional Development Network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to overwhelm providers, instead, we want to provide things to consider that can help mitigate the risk,\u201d Harrison said. The advice is practical and aims to answer questions that providers can\u2019t find in one place.<\/p>\n<p>The guide information ranges from real-world tips like how do you physical distance when taking care of an infant? What do we do for positive and suspected cases of COVID-19? How do you inform families? When can children and staff return to care? Do I need to shut down?<\/p>\n<p>Harrison hopes the guide boosts providers\u2019 confidence. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sample from Quality First COVID-19 guidance<\/p>\n<p>Below are some of the topics covered in the Quality First recommendations for safe child care operations during COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Drop-off and pick-up procedures<br \/>\nMonitoring for symptoms<br \/>\nPlanning physical space<br \/>\nCloth facial coverings<br \/>\nScreening protocols<br \/>\nSanitation and hygiene practices<br \/>\nPhysical (social distancing)<br \/>\nPreparedness and response plan<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt helps programs receive the reassurance that reopening isn\u2019t so scary,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can do these things. It may feel out of their comfort zone, but they were already doing a fabulous job of caring for children, now they can continue by maintaining a safe and clean environment with the tools needed to reopen or stay open.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Bucher of AzAEYC, he\u2019ll continue to advocate at the state and federal level on behalf of Arizona\u2019s child care workforce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mission has been to give out the message, \u2018When Arizona&#8217;s child care works, Arizona works,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early childhood experts discuss
