While schools are closed I know many parents who are essential workers struggle to manage their job responsibilities along with their responsibilities as parents. Making sure kids are well taken care of while their parents continue to work can absolutely be a source of stress. This is why here in Long Beach there are resources available for parents as well as for childcare workers during the COVID-19 emergency.
Here in Long Beach through a partnership with Pacific Gateways, residents have access to
in-home child care. This program
connects childcare workers with families who need in-home child care.
Here, you can apply for child care assistance and learn more about COVID-19 and child care, as well as
search a list of local child care locations through
