Synchrony supports working parents with after-school activities for their children

Published 4 Min Read

Parents have faced an avalanche of challenges since the start of COVID-19, tasked with balancing their own work responsibilities and keeping their children engaged and active. One company has responded by offering a full roster of virtual learning programs for children of working parents.

Synchrony, a provider of consumer financial services, polled its employees in May, and found many parents were concerned after camps, recreational activities and childcare programs had been canceled. The company launched a virtual summer program with scheduled sessions of arts and crafts, cooking, fitness, language and more for kids aged 4 to 14.
