BATON ROUGE- The YMCA distance learning program is back in action.
The Y is working with parents to offer child care services to students in grades Pre-K through eighth who have to stay at home and learn virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The nonprofit organization announced registration is now open for the program as of Thursday, Aug. 6, after state guideline-related delays.
The distance learning program is intended to provide structure and direct supervision for students while their parents are away at work or running errands during school hours.
