The Georgia Department of Early
Care and Learning (DECAL) is now offering families the ability to search for
child care for school age children enrolled in distance learning. With many
parents returning to work, families are not always able to stay at home and
assist their children with virtual instruction. The search is offered on
www.qualityrated.org or by calling 1-877- ALL-GA-KIDS.
“School age children are returning
to their classes, with many school systems opting for distance learning through
virtual classes,” said DECAL Commissioner Amy M. Jacobs. “We are hearing from
parents who, because of work commitments, cannot stay home with their children.
Others might not feel qualified to assist their children and give them the best
experience. In this pandemic, Georgia’s child care industry stands ready to
assist school age children and their families and we appreciate them answering
the call.”
