ZoomDepending on the age of the child...could you try an online play dates? You can set the kids up with crafts and let them chat and play or you can have one child "share the screen" and they can watch a video or educational show together. Maybe even have popcorn or a snack. Could you find a way for a few kids that are nomally in class together to have class "together" online? Maybe even a few mom's could share duties and 1 mom at a time can "teach" to a few kids at once giving the other moms a free hour or so??
