ANXIETY
The four parents who CNA spoke to have yet to plan for alternative after-care services and are relying on the interim measures put in place by MOE.
These interim measures include providing meals and homework supervision after school, and will come at no cost to affected parents or guardians.
Ms Mas, whose son attended LPLC’s student care at Punggol Cove Primary School, said she felt there was little choice but to depend on these temporary arrangements.
“As much as I pity the teachers, volunteers and the school staff, I see no other options,” she said.
She pointed out that the situation was “pretty chaotic” at the school when she picked up her son earlier this week.
“I’m worried about the teachers’ fatigue. How are they going to teach with quality when they are burnt out and tired?” she said.
Ms Mas added that she was also concerned that she might have to quit her job to take care of her child if a new operator is not found.
