DROP-OFF CENTERS FOR VIRTUAL SCHOOL HELP | West University Moms

School is starting online all around Houston and parents like us are struggling to figure out how to help our kids and still have time for the rest of our duties.

One option is to get together with a few other families to form a POD and hire an instructor to supervise and help our kids (we can help you with this – see here).

Unfortunately the above does not work for everyone. Another option is to take our kids to a learning center (micro-school or drop-off school pod) where they form small groups of kids and provide supervision and help with their online school programs.

Below we compiled a list of centers all around Houston who offer this service. Of course, they need to take our kids safety seriously, so we’ve asked them to provide info on their COVID-19 procedures. Make sure you inquire about the details and that their procedures match your family’s precaution level.

If you’re a center providing help with online schooling, fill this form to be added to this page (it’s free).
