Coronavirus - Nurtury

On June 6, 2020 Governor Baker announced that Phase 2 of Massachusetts’ Reopening Plan would begin on Monday June 8th. At that time, the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC), began issuing guidelines to allow child care providers like Nurtury to begin the planning process to re-open. Through the rest of June, Nurtury has used these new guidelines to develop our reopening plan. Our work is strengthened by ongoing communication with the Boston Public Health Commission and Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). Our primary focus since the pandemic closure began back in March, as it always has been, is the health and safety of our staff, children, and families.

At this time, Nurtury plans to open all six center-based programs on July 6, 2020 per the EEC Guidelines.
