Police Sgt. Julie Beard was so relieved to have child care for her two daughters that she broke down and cried.Jorge Perez, CEO of the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati, said YMCA centers began anticipating essential workers' child care needs about two weeks ago. They started creating protocols to care for children who had nowhere else to go while still meeting CDC guidelines.
“As soon as we our facilities down, it was so we could sanitize them and train our staff,” Perez explained. “As the social distancing rules and shelter in place became part of our normal, we needed a lot more square footage as we started serving kids. ... We needed an entire YMCA building to house a small number of children.”
Perez said that, like other YMCA locations, his facility has rigorous cleaning schedules, requires children’s temperatures to be taken before entering, and maintains a ratio of one staffer to 10 children.A boy has his temperature taken before he enters the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati, where child care is being provided for first responders and other essential workers.
“The vision of the Y is all programs that we offer must be accessible to all people, meaning we always make financial assistance available,” said Loria Yeadon, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Seattle.
