We are proud of the efforts being made by our Wonderschool directors during this unprecedented crisis. The care and understanding being shown by directors who also have to care for their staff and families is admirable. Our providers continue to help working families and families of emergency response and health care workers that are struggling to find care as schools districts close and larger pre-schools are restricted from staying open.
For those workers scrambling to find interim child care, we are enacting virtual tours to help facilitate the process with as little risk of exposure as possible. We want to ensure that our critical support workers know they have access to our independent child care providers.
During this time of uncertainty, Wonderschool continues to provide our Directors with the most up to date information from official sources including the CDC and World Health Organization with regards to operating safely under the spread of COVID-19. Our programs are adhering to strict cleaning standards, group size and social distancing restrictions, as well as restrictions being enacted by local health officials
In order to support families in need, we have compiled a list below indicating the current status of available Wonderschool programs in the cities we operate. For some families, this will be their only viable option.
Contact us directly if you are struggling to find child care.
