The Coronavirus school closures are starting in the United States. Expect affected daycares and preschools to be among the first businesses to temporarily shutdown in wake of COVID-19. Given how fast the situation is changing, you may unexpectedly find yourself with nowhere to send your kids.
If you can work from home, that makes things a good bit easier.
Given the evolving situation, now is a great time to prepare for the worst case scenario. Here are some recommendations and resources for what to do if you find yourself suddenly without child care.
If the pandemic gets worse, daycares and preschools may temporarily close to prevent the spread of disease, leaving the 46% of American families with children under 6 who rely on licensed group child care in the lurch.
I asked my kids for ideas and my daughter piped up "you can play with a plate." I asked what she had in mind and she just smiled cryptically and walked away. But trust me, your kids can turn anything into a toy. If you let them.
You look at your mixing bowls and wooden spoons and see ways to bake cookies and bread. Your toddler looks at them and wonders why mommy and daddy put the drum kit away upside down.
