Child Care Information for Families Child care facilities, day camps and overnight camps remain open with enhanced cleaning and screening requirements. Many families across the state need extra help finding school-age care options, as many schools have continued to operate using remote learning, and others are operating with children onsite on alternate days or weeks to meet social distancing requirements. It is important that families have a safe place for their children to do remote learning during the typical school day while they are at work. A hotline is available to help families find child care programs that are open and meeting NCDHHS health and safety guidelines. Parents and caregivers can call (888) 600-1685 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Care options are available in licensed child care programs for children from infants through age 12.
