Free virtual learning opportunities for children
(Gloucester Township, NJ) – Organizations throughout New Jersey are providing virtual learning opportunities for kids and families stuck inside during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. These fantastic online-based experiences are intended to provide children with a safe, fun learning experience while maintaining appropriate social distance.
“Just because you have to stay home, does not mean you have to stop learning, or stop enjoying some of the incredible educational offerings throughout the state,” said Freeholder Jonathan Young. “We all need an outlet during this unusual period, especially our children who are eager to get outside and enjoy the spring weather. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about our environment and the many natural wonders of our ecosystem while following all the guidelines meant to keep your family safe.”
