Tutu and Multiple Grandchildren

A tutu manages to make it to a parent play learning center with 2-4 keiki. She is tired and unable to handle all of them. However, she knows they will learn, eat and be safe there for the next 3 hours. What can we do to help the tutu care for herself as well as her grandchildren?

Parents leaving after snacks
