What Parents Can Learn From Child Care Centers That Stayed Open During Lockdowns:

I’ve been talking to a handful of people who’ve been running these kinds of emergency childcare program this week and what’s surprised me is their staff’s response: They love it and never want to go back to the “normal” way again. They work with only 9 children a day, who they’ve been able to really get to know because it’s the same small group of kids everyday. They’ve had to assign them interesting, long-term project based learning activities and they don’t make them do a bunch of pointless transitions.
It’s an interesting test case to me in the previously-fringe-y idea that children should learn in “family like” settings.
