Preschool services have reopened. We have even more frequent cleaning and sanitation and are following CDC and local health department guidelines. Every effort is being made to keep our keiki safe. Although visitations are not possible now, we are happy to arrange a virtual visit.
Families across the country are adapting to the evolving changes in daily life caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools, places of public gathering and nonessential businesses are reopening. Parents and caregivers are faced with helping their families adjust to the new normal. This includes keeping children occupied, and feeling safe. None of this is easy, but it helps to stay focused on what is possible in order to reinforce a sense of control, to reassure children that they are okay, and that the situation will get better. We are working hard in developing resources for you via Parent Square, Facebook and our website www.ywcahawaiiisland.org. Please see the attachment from “Parents with Confidence” for 6 Everyday Actions that will lower your child’s stress through Corona Virus.
