Without #childcare relief from Congress, families are suffering as programs make an impossible choice: raise tuition or close. Either way, families will pay the price. #Congress, do what's right, and do it right now. #SaveChildCare @NAEYC bit.ly/3hVmcHq
I’ve started missing good old fashioned faceless phone calls. They feel like the analog version of zoom.
While ramping up for the school year, please remember there’s also another incredible group of teachers in classrooms that don’t operate on school calendars - and who are teaching our kids when their brains are total sponges. Early childhood education is education not just care.
My 2 yr old saw a commercial with bears shopping in a store. He took issue with them not wearing masks. Apparently that was the unrealistic part. Kids definitely have a malleable grasp on new realities.
Perfect graphic to describe what we do @2birds. Bring families into the future by nurturing both children and their working parents. Great to see these leaders setting the stage @melindagates @abramsonjenny @ashleybeckner
America’s caregiving system was already broken. Now it’s threatening our country’s ability to safely reopen. To ensure a fast and inclusive recovery, governments, business leaders, and investors need to act.
@abramsonjenny @sm @CNBC @rethinkimpact Thanks for shining a spotlight on the current landscape for childcare providers - both in home and child development centers. The value in supporting childcare now will be realized in the years to come if we ensure ongoing access to care and early childhood education.
As the economy reopens, working parents will be at a disadvantage if childcare centers aren’t available. This sector needs attention right now as the foundation of a healthy workforce newsweek.com/governors-can-…
Remote engagement was not part of our wheelhouse as a childcare company. Kids learn differently...I now know the same is true online. It’s become our job to provide a variety of engagement types so families can decide what works best for their child. There is no one size fits all
This might feel like reigning chaos for my husband & me as working parents, but it’s apparently simple for my 2 year old. From the mouth of babes at 10am: “Dad works in the morning, you work in the afternoon. No phone now, mom!” Work-life balance by a toddler
Snapshot of our last year at @2birds & where we were heading when March changed the trajectory of the entire country. We are an essential business now temporarily closed for the safety of our teachers and families. We are weathering this storm thanks to our incredible community.
We are a new, high quality, licensed childcare center with office space. The last 12 months look like this: April, 2019 - Doors open! July, 2019 - Customers are signing up into 2020. Dec, 2019 - Hit $100K MMR. Signed an LOI for location #2. Mar, 2020 - Started raising $3.7M.
social distancing in its purest form as explained by my two year old: “people not feeling good but I feeling good and my friends feeling good so I not going to school so my friends stay feeling good”
Such a thoughtful op-ed on how this environment affects childcare centers and the resulting trickle down. As a center owner, I feel such responsibility to my employees, families and company knowing they are all so vulnerable: hourly workers, working parents and small businesses
@melindagates @2birds @reneewittemyer Would love to learn more. Your work around how primary caregiving affects gender equality in the workforce is right up our alley. What’s the best way to get in touch?
@melindagates I’m the founder & CEO of @2birds - the first fully licensed childcare + coworking space in the US. We are changing childcare to better align w/today’s workforce and address expanding working mothers’ career trajectories & working fathers’ attitudes towards primary caregiving.
@vkwordsworth Thanks! We love working with DC families. Feel free to stop by!
@shellyporges @2birds And we’re thrilled to have you on board! You’ve been a visionary for female founders with @TBDFwomen
So great to see this! Love that @melindagates speaks not just about gender equality but also how it relates to working parenthood!
I want to see more women making decisions, controlling resources, & shaping policies. That’s why I’m committing $1B over the next 10 years to expanding women’s power & influence in the U.S. #EqualityCantWait, & no one in a position to act should either. m-gat.es/2nEH7Zw
Another amazing play by my sister. Blown away by what she’s written!
