First 5 Solano has become a kind of emergency services agency since the Covid-19 pandemic created a need for child care for essential workers.

As the pandemic forced the closure of schools, preschools and other child care programs, the need for “pop-up care sites” where essential workers could take their children while they were working became more and more pressing.

So the Solano County Office of Emergency Services turned to First 5 Solano, starting in March, to find child care options, particularly in Vallejo.
