“All of that is really what’s on parents’ minds,” she said. While many of her friends will not send their children to school on Monday, Ms. Capone’s three children, who range from a kindergartner to a third grader, will be there, even though for the past week “they keep coming home and telling me what movies they watched.” “Honestly, for me, it’s free child care,” she said, “and I can get in one last day at the gym.”
