Eugene has three community centers–Peterson Barn serves families in the west. Sheldon operates in the north. And in the southeast, there’s Amazon Community Center. They just expanded COVID Relief Childcare. Michael Cole is a program coordinator.

Physical distancing, staffs with masks and other safety protocols are enforced at Amazon Community Center’s COVID Relief Childcare.

“This is for families going back to work,” Cole said, “a lot of folks are in this interim period–their children would normally be in school but now they will need childcare until we get to summer.”

Cole says each of the Rec centers operate under strict health and safety protocols. They take each child’s temperature daily and observe social distancing.

Children and staff stay six feet apart inside and outside during COVID Relief Childcare at Amazon Community Center in Eugene. Peterson Barn and Sheldon centers have also expanded childcare services to any interested family.

Childcare schedules vary and there is a cost but Cole says families may apply for a discount if needed. The programs will run through June 19th.
