Welcoming Kids at Work

Going back to work after parental leave can feel like quitting something “cold turkey:” One day it’s nothing but you and your child and the next, it’s business as usual -- anxious check-ins with caregivers and/or breast pumps notwithstanding. Starting this semester, Shenandoah is introducing a formal policy allowing parents to bring babies to work on a regular basis. Older kids are now also welcome when childcare falls through or in cases of emergency.
