We spent the weekend surrounded by providers and families from across Minnesota, and we left feeling energized and hopeful.

There is real momentum building around universal childcare and we are so excited to be part of it!

This work matters. For our kids, our families, and our teachers. Stay tuned… this is just the beginning.

Today is Minnesota’s
Our recent flood highlighted just how fragile our system is. One emergency halted operations immediately. Families and staff were left scrambling wondering what would come next.

At the same time, providers and families across our state are navigating fear far beyond the walls of our centers. Families are afraid to leave their homes.

Childcare is infrastructure. It cannot exist on the brink. It cannot exist in fear. It cannot survive on rhetoric that devalues the people and communities who make it possible.

We are ready for a future where childcare is fully funded, protected, and recognized as essential. We are ready for systems that support providers BEFORE they reach the brink. And we will continue sharing our story, standing with our families, and advocating for a Minnesota where every child, every educator, and every family is safe, supported, and able to thrive.

🎵Let’s get down to business🎵

Reopening a childcare center, one piece of lumber at a time.

Strong team. Strong community. Stronger than the crisis.

We are SO grateful for our team and community! 🤍

There is still a lot of work to be done, supplies to be purchased, and repairs needed from the damage on the other side of the building. But tonight, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate how our new spaces are coming together. We can’t wait to welcome you all back as soon as possible!

Our team will be back onsite again tomorrow morning for another busy day of getting our new spaces set up. Families, we will send you another update tomorrow afternoon via Brightwheel!

We experienced a burst pipe that has caused a temporary building closure while repairs are underway. We are working as quickly as possible to reopen. For those asking how to help, a GoFundMe link is included below to support urgent needs. Please feel free to share as well 💜
