The County Department of Parks & Recreation will begin signing up children on Monday, Oct. 5 for a program to provide low-cost child care during the 17 days that schools are closed because of teacher furloughs.

Sign-up will be at 18 sites across the island for the “Furlough Friday Program,” which is modeled after the County’s popular Summer Fun program. The program is designed to help working parents who have no alternative child care on furlough days.
