Mary De La Rosa stands inside a play structure in her home backyard, that once housed the now-closed child care program, Creative Explorers, Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2020, in Los Angeles. When De La Rosa closed her toddler and preschool program in March because of the coronavirus pandemic, she fully expected to serve the children again some day.
