This week on Innovations in Education, we focused on child care in Kentucky as it relates to COVID-19 closures. On Monday morning, the Prichard Committee, along with a partnership of Kentucky-based organizations (United Way of Kentucky, Kentucky Youth Advocates, Child Care Advocates of Kentucky, Metro United Way, Learning Grove, and United Way of Greater Cincinnati) released the results of a survey to 2,172 child care providers. Much of the conversation on Innovations focused on those results.

The COVID-19 outbreak has given us many new challenges to ponder and a new reality to face. It has also given us an opportunity to look backward on our lives in search of past experiences that might help each of us make sense of the situation and bring some hope and peace to others who may be struggling. The closure of all childcare facilities, schools, and colleges for the time being has been daunting to accept for those of us in the education community – from advocates like us at the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, to teachers, parents and students.
Due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus, Kentucky childcare facilities have been ordered to close. The Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence is committed to ensuring that learning continues to take place at this time. The following websites link to resources for both parents and providers impacted by this closure.
On Thursday, March 19, the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence hosted a Facebook Live conversation about the daycare and early childhood education impact of COVID-19. Prichard Committee President and CEO Brigitte Blom Ramsey facilitated a discussion on the impact of the closures of these facilities with early childhood business leaders and advocates.
Due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus, Kentucky students — from preschool through college — are practicing social distancing. The Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence is committed to ensuring that learning continues to take place at this time. The following websites link to resources that can be used to enhance home-based learning during this time.
