Children”™s Learning Centers of Fairfield County (CLC), the second-largest center-based early childhood education nonprofit in Connecticut, has reopened all of its eight locations to serve 380 children, which enable nearly 500 parents to go back to work.
The organization has implemented new measures to create the safest environment possible, including daily health screening and temperature checks for children and staff; placing classrooms in cohorts to limit interaction with other children and staff; increased standards for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfection; and implementing social distancing practices.
CLC will continue to provide remote learning and support services to children who can”™t join classrooms.
“Throughout the pandemic, CLC has been providing remote support to enrolled families, but for months we have strived to reopen to provide reliable and safe early childhood education and care that enables parents to return to work,” said CLC Chief Executive Officer Marc Jaffe.
“CLC educates and cares for 950 children a day, 10 hours a day, 51 weeks a year. It is the largest food provider to young children in southwest Connecticut, serving nearly one-half million meals and snacks a year,” he said.”
