parents are “relieved”

From March 23 to 30, 2021, the Jules Ferry nursery school in Bron, near Lyon, closed its doors, following the diagnosis of 4 students and a member of staff positive for covid. After 7 days of home schooling, the 93 kindergarten students reunited with their teachers on Tuesday morning.

“We organized as best we could. We looked after our children this week, we made arrangements ”, confides this mother in front of the gate of the Jules Ferry school in Bron. The establishment, which normally accommodates 93 children, has just reopened.
For health reasons, the 4 kindergarten classes closed for 7 days. Getting back to school: it’s a relief for all parents of students. Combining work and childcare suddenly, for many, it was not easy: “Working and at the same time taking care of the little ones, even when working from home, is not easy. We are happy that the school is reopening. ” A hint of concern can nevertheless be read in the eyes of some adults, about barrier gestures. “They are small, they are less careful and that’s normal. So obviously, we are a little worried about this recovery. “
