[quote=Anonymous]I am a single parent whose child was small before Covid. I also had no telework. I paid for full time care. I prioritized centers that had backup staff. We took almost no “fun” vacations because I had to cover all sick days. I signed up for camps the moment they opened. If your children are small, you probably had paid maternity leave which I did not. When children are small all of your leave will be based around their schedules. I prioritized living in Arlington and not Fairfax because at the time aftercare was guaranteed if you signed up in time. I paid for beforecare, even though I only needed about fifteen minutes of it a day. I get that it’s a little harder now because some programs did not reopen after Covid, but you have to plan and pay.
