Parents Return To Work Next Week, But Day Cares And Camps Are Still Closed: ‘What Am I Gonna Do?’ – Block Club Chicago

There are only about 2,650 emergency child care providers open across the state; Those that are open can only serve 10 children at a time. Non-emergency day cares can’t reopen until Phase 4 of the state’s reopening plan, which Chicago won’t be able to progress to until at least late June. Parents are worried about their businesses or positions at work if they have to remain home to look after their kids.
