We are doing distance learning in a small pod with a caregiver with our elementary schooler. We are rotating houses. The most difficult part, surprisingly, is finding other families with the same needs as you (age, cost, siblings, distancing level).

I chose to go pod since it adds a little more socialization without nearly as much risk as a larger group.

For what it's worth (I've helped create dozens of pods), it's sometimes good to be really specific about what your pod is (not to be everything to everyone) and then post about it in your local facebook parenting groups. I'm also happy to help get the word out if you need support. I know tons of parents looking for pods:)
we're planning on this too. Our class hasn't started yet but the plan is to find kids /from the actual class/ that're interested.
