The Office of Childhood Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) announced that the following policies, which were suspended due to COVID-19 during the March-August period, will again be effective in September:

  • Absences will be tracked and counted towards the 40 days of absences for all children.

  • Children’s enrollment after five days of absence will be suspended until the child returns to care.

  • All Adverse Action notices will be sent to families per policy. Early Learning Resource Centers will begin to send Adverse Action notices that have been held due to revised COVID-19 policy.

  • Dual enrollments, the practice implemented under COVID-19 to support both a closed provider and families who needed care will end. Children will be enrolled only with the provider where the child attends.

  • Collection of family co-pays will resume.

More information can be found in OCDEL’s full announcement.
