Flexable

How does Flexable’s backup child care differ from the backup care we currently offer at our office?

Unlike traditional backup care, which is usually either on-site, or in person, Flexable’s child care provides backup care that is 100% virtual, making it totally safe and on demand. 

What is virtual child care? 

Flexable’s virtual child care is safe, trustworthy, vetted and insured backup child care for whenever child care falls through. Flexable’s sessions are 30-60 minute, interactive and engaging video chat sessions are led by a trusted and vetted Virtual Host. Sessions are live and include a schedule of engaging content that keeps children (3 -10 yrs old) connecting and growing at home while providing parents a brief reprieve to focus on work or self-care. 

What is a Virtual Host?

Virtual hosts are the heart and soul of Flexable. They create lessons that are engaging and enriching. They connect with kids, virtually, in a way where they feel seen and heard. Hosts also provide kids (many of whom are currently distance learning for school) with opportunities to socialize safely outside of their own family.

What type of activities happen during Flexable’s Virtual child care?

For younger children, Flexable’s child care provides a circle time where little ones sit around a virtual carpet and connect. Circle time includes activities like show and tell and storytime. 

For kids in the 6-10 year old range, Flexable provides a revolving, dynamic schedule of activities. These activities can range from movement, art, and easy snack making to math games and beginner novel reading.
