Yes. Childcare services are still approved to use during this time. Families needing services are presumed to be essential workers (link to list per CDE, https://covid19.ca.gov/img/EssentialCriticalInfrastructureWorkers.pdf.) If the provider has served the groups listed in this link and still has space in their program per the group size guidelines, they should consider enrolling private paying essential workers at their discretion. When the state of emergency has been lifted, providers will be expected to resume serving all children receiving subsidies that are currently enrolled that may return to care therefore any arrangement with private paying parents should consider that requirement.
