Wiggle Room Founder wins The David Prize!

“The David Prize is a celebration of individuals and ideas to create a better, brighter New York City. The Prize honors those with the grit and vision to change our communities, our culture and our future for good.”

We build tools to stabilize and grow New York City’s Family Child Care businesses.

Why Family Child Care?

 

Family Child Care is the largest supply of childcare to:

  • Low-income communities

  • Communities of color

  • All children ages 0-3

  • Children whose parents work non-traditional hours

 

Despite the high demand for childcare, Family Child Care businesses struggle to make ends meet because of high overhead and low margins.

We build tools that support them to build their businesses and stay afloat, ensuring that all communities have access to quality, affordable childcare. 

“Child care is a textbook example of a broken market,” said Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, a mother herself.
