> lower-income essential workers who are parents are currently facing a major childcare crisis because they have to return to work despite schools being closed

Because I live in a middle-class bubble, I wonder what most of those folks do ordinarily while school is out for the summer.



They rely on family. Grandparents or older siblings watch over the younger ones.


Depending on the area, many summer day camps are subsidized for low income families.


Many of these programs are also provided on school grounds. Of course the hard reality is that many kids just slip through the cracks in our left to their own devices for the summer.
