First Responders and Health Providers
The District thanks our first responders for their service in this time of crisis. We must ensure our families/caregivers who function as first responders or health care providers, have childcare supports in place. The District is working with community partners to provide childcare to our families of first responders and health providers. If first responders or health providers need childcare, we would ask that you look below for places that have agreed to provide childcare for our first responders and healthcare professionals. Eligible healthcare professionals include licensed health professionals such as physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, LPNs, and nurse assistants, or laboratory personnel. First responders may include paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, and firefighters.
