FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky plans phased reopenings of child-care centers next month.
State officials see it as an important catalyst to help jump-start an economy stagnated by the coronavirus outbreak. Child-care providers caring for 10 or fewer children will be allowed to restart on June 8.
State Health and Family Services Secretary Eric Friedlander made the announcement Thursday. He says larger, center-based child-care providers will be allowed to resume a week later on June 15.
Child-care providers will face a series of guidelines meant to protect children and staff.
