Women are demanding more from work, and they’re leaving their companies in unprecedented numbers to get it. https://t.co/kjaDaEhrv5 via @McKinsey

🙌🏾 Our data is in the news! @legupcare powers the #childcare community in Summit County, with +70% of providers using our platform. We make it easier for families to find care and for our partners to see where to put $$ and effort to increase supply. So proud of our team 💪🏾🔥
This is the value of having real-time #data for decision makers to improve access to #childcare. Love how @SummitDailyNews highlights the work of our partner, Early Childhood Options in this article: https://t.co/sruYVav1b0

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:

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. https://t.co/NQ6BIej352

"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

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:

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

Biden has a plan to make day care more affordable for parents—if the providers don’t go out of business first.

"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: https://t.co/vHTgv6KTHU

In our August #childcare Market Insights Report, our team shared how our country makes important policy and programmatic decisions based on the wrong supply #data -- decisions that are impacting businesses & working parents everywhere.

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
