The Los Angeles Unified School District's planned walkout would shut down schools.  What are the child care options?

Parents of students scrambling to secure child care ahead of a walkout that could shut down Los Angeles Unified School District campuses for three days next week received some relief Friday afternoon.

Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation announced that it will temporarily open walk-in recreational programming on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 8 am to 5:30 pm, at 16 parks.

Programming will include sports, games, and arts and crafts for youth ages 7-17. The department is also opening the Deane Dana Friendship Nature Center and the Stoneview Nature Center to provide meals. Breakfast will be provided from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and lunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Here is the announcement from the Los Angeles County Parks Department.

County parks are an option for parents after the district said it could not ensure supervision and safety of students during the strike and must close schools. But some campuses could open for students, the district said, if enough employees show up. And the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks hasn’t announced a plan; Spokeswoman Rose Watson previously told The Times that the agency could open 22 recreation centers for all-day activities.

So what other options do parents have? Beyond waiting for announcements from LAUSD and the city, they can pay to enroll a child in a camp or after-school program, or they can look for a nonprofit organization that provides free care.

There is still the possibility that the strike will not happen.

“I think there’s this misconception that it’s a done deal, and it really isn’t,” he said. Parents supporting teachers Founder Jenna Schwartz. “Strikes are the last resort.”

Members of Chart, a South Los Angeles parent organization, said they feel childcare was not considered when unions representing both teachers and support staff discussed the possibility of a strike. The organization supports the strike but believes childcare options should have been on the table, said Roslyn Broadnax, leader of Cadre.

“We have parents in our community who work two jobs; we have single parents and parents who have three or four children,” she said. Taking time off work to care for children or paying for care are not options, she said.
