Local Guest Commentary: Kids get a jump start on learning through KCAO

It's 6 a.m. The phone rings; it's your babysitter telling you she is sick and cannot take care of your child. You begin a telephone marathon waking up relatives, friends, drop-in centers, etc., trying to find a babysitter for the day. You need to get to work and you cannot afford to take a day off. Ask any parent and they will tell you how they dread that early morning phone call.
