The impact of COVID-19 on childcare has been profound. Given that we will be living with COVID for quite some time, PennMedicineTogether explored options to curate resources for families.  

1.       Family Care Overview: https://www.med.upenn.edu/PennMedicineTogether/our-families/

2.       NEW Komae (resource guide attached)

Komae is a cooperative childcare app that provides help to parents who are increasing their time onsite at a Penn facility. The app allows you to identify and vet families with similar parenting styles and COVID-19 hygiene practices in hopes of finding a match to share childcare. https://www.mykomae.com/penn/

The following user groups have been established for Penn based on geography:

• • Philadelphia City Campuses
  • Chester County Hospital
  • Lancaster General Health
  • Penn Medicine Princeton Health

Komae will be hosting 3 webinars for live Q&A with the Komae team on the following dates:

• • Tues., July 14 @ 7:30pm EST
  • Wed., July 15 @ 1:30pm EST
  • Thurs., July 23 @ 7:30pm EST
