Updates on school district plans, as it relates to child care, will be posted on the VC Marketplace – Employee Child Care Connection chat forum. VC Marketplace can be accessed through MyVCWeb (while logged into the County network), look for the VC Marketplace icon on the right side navigation bar. You will be prompted to enter your county email address and your organizational password. Then just look for the Employee Child Care Connection tile.
