Operative words
Child Care Centers. Child care providers listed are approved to operate during the COVID-19 public health emergency. If you work in a life-sustaining position, these providers may be able to help you and your family if you need child care. Please note [that providers may decide] to close at any time. We encourage all personnel in life-sustaining positions to make a back-up plan for child care should their provider decide to close.
