The past year has been very difficult for most of our families, with daily choices that seem to fluctuate from bad to worse. For example, the much-anticipated milestone of having little ones start kindergarten was usurped from many parents, who were presented with three options:

In-person learning that would require masking and socially distancing 5-year-olds within Plexiglas stations – not to mention constant hand sanitizing, new rules and the risk of COVID-19.
Delaying kindergarten until the following school year.
Not surprisingly many parents decided to delay what should be a joyful start to a lifelong love of discovery and learning. In Sarasota there are 17% fewer kindergarteners than the prior school year, representing roughly 525 students. That means there are 525 local families who have had to find an alternative way to bring some sort of normalcy to their rising kindergartners.
