We also know it will be a challenge for kids to be away from school for so long, for working parents trying to juggle child care, and for parents home with little ones all day. Not to mention trying to keep everyone healthy while unsure what to participate in.
That's why we are sharing things for you to do at home – in the form of Virtual Playdates
