DISASTER RECOVERY &
CONTINUITY PLANNING FOR CHILD CARE

Protecting America’s Youngest Learners – Before, During & After Disaster

Every year, hurricanes, severe weather, and unexpected crises threaten the safety, stability, and operations of early learning centers. Yet, many providers remain underprepared—lacking the coordinated plans, tools, and training needed to keep children safe and resume services quickly.

At Child Care Biz Help, we believe every child care program deserves a clear path to resilience. Our Disaster Preparedness & Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) Certification equips providers with practical, usable tools to stay ready before, during, and after an emergency.

Why Disaster Recovery Matters for Early Learning Centers

  • Children are among the most vulnerable in emergencies.
  • Unprepared centers risk long closures, financial losses, and community disruption.
  • Families depend on providers not only for care, but also for stability when disaster strikes.

With the right plan, your center can minimize downtime, safeguard staff and children, and be a trusted anchor for families in times of crisis.

THE SOLUTION

Our emergency preparedness process guides providers through a step-by-step framework designed specifically for child care and early education environments.
