Governor Kim Reynolds says it’s important to keep child care centers open for babies, toddlers, preschoolers AND school-aged kids  — so workers in health care, emergency response AND the food industry can stay on the job.

Reynolds is asking schools, churches and other community organizations to consider how they may help provide child care to the children of workers who are providing essential services during the pandemic.

The Iowa Department of Human Services has a map posted online that lists child care openings around the state.
