Dr. Cathy Grace Wishes to Take Our Snapshot!
Not DHS Official or Required, But Very Mississippi Essential.
Whether or not planning for Cares Act Funding or COVID-19 CCDF Stimulus money, it is necessary to “see” the whole or entire Mississippi child care industry in order to best determine how to use resources to help re-open licensed care and re-build enrollment/capacity.
Perhaps when COVID-19 is no longer a threat, Cathy (as she likes to be called), will invite us to tour her office and commission a group child care director photo on the Ole Miss campus…all 1,400 of us…but for now, due to social distancing, we will be cut out of today’s picture unless we reply to the survey she has provided.
Mississippi must know where the open facilities are and where the “child care deserts” have developed due to COVID-19 closures.
Did you know that we have counties that have no licensed care available today and may be at risk of not having any facilities to re-open as we navigate through this pandemic?
Many agencies and entities will benefit from this work…but especially families and child care small businesses through the help received as a result of the information gathered.
Other states have already collected such data and Cathy/Ole Miss has offered to do that work for us here at home.
(Some states are operating a daily website listing every open facility statewide to aid essential workers and prospective clients in locating available care.)
The best part of our survey is, even though business information is requested, WE DO NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION we consider to be “None-ya” (none of your business) in order to participate but I think we should at least provide a zip code so that our data will be immediately useful and…duh…somewhat helpful.
There is an opportunity to make recommendations near the end. That might take me a minute. I best get started! (God Bless them!)
CLICK HERE TO BE IN THE STATEWIDE SNAPSHOT…AND SMILE!
