METRO DETROIT COVID-19 brought with it a variety of problems for everyone, with parents of young children being some of the most drastically affected.
With schools, workplaces and day cares opening up, shutting down or going through various safety-measure changes, parents were often thrown for a loop.
“When COVID started, I was working at the day care (my son) Silas went to,” said Megan Weins, of Battle Creek, who is a mother of one. “Then we moved, and we had to find a new one; then that closed. Then we had another one that was too far out of the way. Now, finally, he’s at a new preschool, so he’s had four schools since COVID started.”
