The Department of Education will open 100 “enrichment” centers across the city to support the children of critical city workers pressed into emergency service by the coronavirus crisis, officials said Tuesday.

“In order to maintain critical city services such as health care, transit, and first responder capacity, NYCDOE will provide safe, supportive environments for children whose parents need this support,” the DOE said in a statement.

The city shuttered the nation’s largest school district this week, launching the daily lives of more than one million kids and their parents into an unpredictable tailspin.

Placed in city school buildings, the centers will activate next Monday, opening at 7:30 am and closing at 6 pm every weekday, officials said.

Center classrooms will host a maximum of 12 kids with at least one adult supervisor and will allow students to engage in remote learning with their schools.

The DOE said that classroom configurations will comply with social distancing mandates to help curb the spread of coronavirus.

Every enrichment center will be staffed by two nurses, a social worker and a guidance counselor, officials said

To further assist vital city workers with younger children, the DOE is retaining additional staffers to care for for infants, toddlers and 3- and 4-year olds.

The facilities will provide three hot meals a day and will serve food inside classrooms to avoid risky cafeteria congregation, according to the DOE.
