Women are demanding more from work, and they’re leaving their companies in unprecedented numbers to get it. mck.co/36jKvg0 via @McKinsey
Working parents, rejoice! We’re acquiring @legupcare to make #childcare accessible for families & providers. Together we have the most robust data on every part of the ecosystem, enabling us to transform it. Learn more: blog.kinside.com/kinside-acquir… #workingparents #workingmom
Every new parent when they see the cost of #childcare. Read our insights around the variety of schedules and tuition: bit.ly/3C6uxUy @legupcare
Let's talk about money! Everyone knows #childcare is expensive, but let's dive into the schedules and variety that families need. Read more from @legupcare: bit.ly/3C6uxUy

Love seeing one of our partners featured and how important #data from @legupcare is to finding #childcare solutions!

We're never going to effectively expand #childcare access or scale #ECE programs nationwide if we don't honestly evaluate those we believe in. Thanks @ProfEmilyOster for this perspective on the recent TN pre-k results: emilyoster.substack.com/p/does-pre-k-r…
Top story in @axios & @EmilyRPeck that any #workingparent would agree on: "the pandemic exacerbated long simmering issues that parents, particularly women, face when it comes to managing work & family." Hint: #childcare might play a role in the solution. axios.com/labor-force-wo…
"We do it because we have no other choice." @legupcare is on a mission to give #workingparents the support they don't currently have. This is also why we're talking about the constant struggle parents are facing to balance family & work. #CareCanBeBetter @CareCanBeBetter

More than 2 million women left the workforce last year. Were you one of them? Tell us your story. #CareCanBeBetter
Tell us the moment you realized you needed a #childcare support system. #CareCanBeBetter
Parents, when did you realize you needed a better #childcare support system? #CareCanBeBetter
90% of Seattle families needing infant #childcare are on a waitlist for 323 days. That's 10+ months of #workingparents cobbling together care, re-arranging work, relying on friends/family, etc. Subscribe to @legupcare Market Insights to learn more: insights.legup.care/about
We're seeing 10-30% of #childcare seats going unfilled on any given day. That means significant lost revenue for providers every day. We cannot achieve a stable child care system with this trend continuing. At @legupcare we're fixing that.
#Childcare is an "almost entirely private market in which the service offered is too expensive for both consumers and the businesses that provide it." This is why improving business margins has been one of @legupcare's priorities from day 1. @clairesuddath bloomberg.com/news/features/…
"Demand for #childcare exceeds supply by 1.5x, and that’s assuming that our existing supply is stable. Families join every waitlist possible and cobble together care." Sound familiar? Read about one of our partners' solution to this imbalance: insights.legup.care/p/pulling-doub… @legupcare
Our economic recovery relies on #childcare Enrollment Success. Learn more about how we see that happening for families, providers, and employers in our most recent Market Insights Report: insights.legup.care/p/vol-3-q2-mar… #earlyed #data #ECE
#Childcare staffing shortages are contributing to unfilled seats and complicating already labor-intensive, growing waitlists. Read more supply and demand #data from today's Market Insights Report: insights.legup.care/p/vol-3-q2-mar… #earlyed #ECE
Wow, @allysonfelix, impressed w/ your advocacy here. As generous as this is, this shouldn't be your issue to fix. Access to #childcare allows working parents -- from athletes to accountants -- to perform their best. @Athleta @LizSegran @FastCompany fastcompany.com/90653778/the-m…
