Learning child care: Florida Division of Early Learning
COVID-19 Resources – Oregon Early Learning Division
Q: What are the quarantine and isolation guidelines for child care settings? – Updated September 26, 2022
Due to declining COVID-19 case rates and high levels of immunity, Oregon Health Authority has removed the quarantine requirement for individuals exposed to COVID-19 in child care and K-12 settings. Individuals who test positive must be excluded from child care and isolate at home for 5 days. They may then return when symptoms are resolving and fever-free for 24 hours. When returning to care, that individual should wear a well-fitting mask in child care and public settings for 5 days after their isolation started. Early education and child care programs must notify families of an exposure so they can watch for symptoms, but children/staff exposed do not need to be excluded unless they develop symptoms or test positive. Early education and child care programs may choose to impose stricter isolation, quarantine or masking requirements.
Q: Does a child care program need to close if there’s a positive COVID-19 case? If so, for how long?
ELD does not require closure of programs. However, a program may need to close if there are too many staff excluded for isolation maintain operations and staffing ratios.
Q: What are child care providers required to communicate to families if there is a positive COVID-19 case? – Updated September 26, 2022
Early education and child care programs must notify families of an exposure so they can watch for symptoms, but children/staff exposed do not need to be excluded unless they are symptomatic or positive.
Q: Can a parent ask if a child care staff member is vaccinated?
The Early Learning Division does not have authority to determine if parents are allowed to ask vaccination status. A provider or staff member may choose to answer or not.
Q: Are masks still required indoors? – Updated September 26, 2022
The statewide indoor mask requirement ended on March 11, 2022.
A child care program can choose whether to require masks.
The Early Learning Division and the Oregon Health Authority in alignment with the Center for Disease Control, strongly recommend that masks be worn by all individuals age 2 and older indoors when:
- There are high levels of COVID-19 transmission in communities
- There are medium levels of COVID-19 transmission and individuals are:
- Unvaccinated
- Immunocompromised
- At high risk of COVID-19 hospitalization
- 65 and older or with underlying health conditions
- Living with people who have underlying health conditions.
Some programs may choose to continue universal masking at lower COVID-19 community levels because it promotes an inclusive and supportive environment for those children and staff who are at higher risk for severe COVID-19.
Q: Can a parent ask their child care program to support distance learning?
This is a business decision that should be made by individual programs.
Q: Are testing kits available to child care programs? – Updated September 26, 2022
If you need a COVID-19 test, find resources here and here.
Q: Can a provider accept an at home COVID-19 test?
Yes
Q: Can you explain what is a “well-fitting mask” for children?
It’s any mask that fits snuggly and the child will wear reliably.
Q: Where can I find additional resources?
Oregon Health Authority COVID-19 Resources (general): https://govstatus.egov.com/or-oha-covid-resources
Oregon Health Authority COVID-19 Resources: Supporting Families Prenatally to Age 5:
https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/HEALTHYPEOPLEFAMILIES/DATAREPORTS/Pages/COVID-19-Resources.aspx
Q: Is daily symptom screening still recommended?
Daily screening is no longer required. However, staff and family should be aware of COVID-19 symptoms, and individuals should be excluded if symptoms develop. If symptomatic, it is recommended they get tested for COVID-19.
Q: Are child care providers still required to notify Local Public Health if there is a positive COVID-19 case in their facility? – Updated September 26, 2022
Providers are required to notify the Local Public Health Authority immediately of unusually high levels of absenteeism (on any given day) due to respiratory illnesses (symptoms may include new cough, fever, shortness of breath, congestion/runny nose, new loss of taste or smell).
- In home-based child care programs, providers must report to Local Public Health Authority when there are three or more staff or children absent due to respiratory illness.
- In center-based, recorded, and school-based child care programs, providers must report to Local Public Health Authority when there are 10 or more staff or children absent due to respiratory illness.
- Programs do not need to report elevated absenteeism when there is a non-disease related reason (i.e., day before or after a holiday or long weekend, child care children are participating in an out of school activity, etc.
).
).Early Learning Division – Oregon
At the Early Learning Division, we are preparing our children for Kindergarten, helping to create stable and attached families, and bringing services for children and families together statewide. Our programs range from Early Head Start, serving children three and under to Preschool Promise, servicing children at 200% of the poverty level. We work with families that may need a little extra help as they start their parenting journey and those families that may have particular needs. All this work strengthens our mission of supporting all of Oregon’s young children and families to learn and thrive. The programs we help fund are a collective, responsible for positive outcomes for our children and closing the opportunity gap for those furthest from opportunity.
On this page, we brought together some of the programs we currently fund for you to get connected. There may be other similar programs in your community. If you are unable to find a program here that satisfies your needs of if you have further questions, visit 211Info or call 211 for further assistance.

Training of women on parental leave
St. Petersburg will train 1000 women on parental leave
Petersburg will train 1,000 women on parental leave. In 2018, 530 mothers on maternity leave were trained: the majority (77.
8%) underwent retraining, and 20.7% improved their qualifications. By contacting any district Employment Agency, women raising children under three years old will be able to get a profession, retrain or improve their skills. nine0005
In 2019, the Employment Service is ready to offer St. Petersburg women about 47 training programs in the following areas: accounting, business and personnel administration, work in the 1C program, budgeting and contractual relations in construction, procurement, preschool, additional education and speech therapy work with children, management and marketing in the production of products and services, Internet marketing, labor protection and safety, organization management and others. Educational programs are formed on the basis of the demand for professions and competencies, and are designed to increase the competitiveness of young mothers in the labor market. nine0005
For many mothers, training becomes an additional incentive for professional development.
« Now you need a certificate of completed courses to get a job. I knew about the courses at the Employment Service for a long time, and when I just went to study, there were some doubts, but the program was expanded, the teachers were mostly qualified, they explained everything in an accessible and interesting way. I changed my job, and the courses really helped me: they gave me a good base, opened up additional opportunities ,” said Galina Ryabushkina, who was trained under the HR Manager program.
Young mothers say that studying on maternity leave is possible due to the free time that has appeared. « Walked in the yard with mothers and discussed opportunities for learning, word of mouth worked. I work in a furniture production and decided to take training for myself, – says Natalia Zhigalova, who successfully completed the course “Specialist in Estimated Business and Contractual Relations in Construction”, – Accounting requires detailed development of all processes.
The course was explained clearly and understandably. You could ask questions, and I think this program is understandable at any age. The courses began when the child went to kindergarten, I was completely free, took the child in the morning, went to study, in the afternoon picked him up.
To get a referral to study, you need to apply to the Employment Agency of any district of St. Petersburg with a passport (registration in St. Petersburg is required) and a birth certificate of the child. A specialist of the Employment Service will select courses in accordance with the wishes of the woman, her education and work experience. After the courses are agreed upon, it will be additionally necessary to provide an order from the employer for parental leave. During one maternity leave, training under the program can be completed only 1 time. Training for all programs is conducted on the basis of licensed educational organizations. Upon successful passing of the exam at the end of the course, a document of the established form is issued on obtaining education or advanced training.
