With over 30 states implementing stay-at-home orders, childcare is a central concern for many working parents, especially in essential industries, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation is committed to helping the childcare industry weather this storm.
To provide more information for childcare businesses struggling to stay afloat, the Chamber Foundation will host a webinar on Monday, April 6 to discuss COVID-19's impact on the childcare industry, the federal legislative response, resources available to small businesses, recommendations on how childcare providers can leverage loan programs, and more.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation is holding a webinar at 12:30 p.m. CT this coming Monday, April 6 to explain some of the new, federal resources made available to help early care and ed providers, including small-business loans. We just learned about this webinar and urge you to share this info with others; you'll find details in the message below my signature.
