Cisco Supports #FirstRespondersFirst

Cisco is supporting #FirstRespondersFirst, an initiative of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Thrive Global, and the CAA Foundation and Opens Four Bright Horizons Centers to Provide Free Child Care for Frontline Healthcare Workers.

The initiative takes a whole human approach to supporting first responder healthcare workers as they serve on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. #FirstRespondersFirst’s fundraising call to action helps provide essential protective equipment, accommodations, child care, food, mental health support, and other resources to this demographically and socially diverse workforce, ranging from minimum-wage hourly workers in home-care settings to social workers, nurses, physicians, and beyond.

As people are being asked to serve the public’s health by stepping back, frontline healthcare workers are being tasked with stepping forward. This partnership will open four new special child care hubs to meet the needs of our first responders who need, first and foremost, to respond to the needs of their own young children. Through #FirstRespondersFirst, Cisco is opening its San Jose HQ campus Building 25 Child Care Center, known as Cisco LifeConnections Children’s Learning Center, to the children of first responders, and is also funding three additional centers to open across the US.

The new Bright Horizons child care hubs will operate in Milpitas, California; Cary, North Carolina; Dallas, Texas; and Birmingham, Alabama, with special COVID-19 protocols in place, including limited capacity and small group sizes, enhanced teacher:child ratios, daily health checks for all staff and children on arrival, use of masks for staff, and intensive hygiene and cleaning practices. The centers will be staffed with expertly trained and experienced local Bright Horizons early educators. Care will be available for all children, from infants up through 12 years old and will open beginning April 27. Care will be free for first responders.
