WEEKDAYS South Whidbey Preschool

Tiny learning programs led by parents = big impact. We're a tech co rethinking early childhood edu for 1-6 yr olds. Female founded & intentionally diverse.

Drone shows are quieter, safer and better for the environment. This year, Salt Lake City and Boulder, Colorado, planned to use them instead of fireworks for Fourth of July celebrations, citing the reduced risk of forest fires and pollution. https://t.co/ONPbyzlxSI

It takes 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain. Through play, it only takes 10 - 20 repetitions.

Our brains are wired for play: Fosters imagination, creativity & collaboration. Brings joys & wonders. Encourages risk taking.

For little kids, check out platforms like @JoinWeekdays

Look for programs focused on free play, where kids explore and create on their own.

Avoid ones that talk about "play" but really mean adult-led activities.

@anafabrega11 You get us ❤️

Our newest micro-school market: Whidbey Island, WA.

We’ll be learning and growing in the midst of towering evergreens and next to playful orcas in the Puget Sound.

A big part of our learning (for all locations) is focused on a love of nature and this location is 💯.

This week one of our team members (a preschool teacher) told me she was able to buy a house because of her job with our startup.

Is there any better feeling as a founder?

The data points in this article are alarming.

If we don’t deal with the caregiving crisis, we could see a whole generation of women leave the workforce or permanently downshift their careers. https://t.co/S8ju5EPdRt

Watching my 5yo come up with a whole story for her dollhouse family brings me more joy than I thought possible. 💝✨

Pitch videos = nerve wracking, even after 10+ years in startups.

Just recorded one for @asugsvsummit and took a risk.

Instead of talking at a desk + tech demo, I did a walking pitch video. Ended at a @JoinWeekdays micro-schools to show the impact of our tech instead.

When we partnered with local, Seattle-based @JoinWeekdays for childcare opportunities at the start of COVID-19, we knew it would be the difference between graduation and leaving our program for many of our Adies.

I co-host a "Future of EdTech" event on Clubhouse that brings together voices from founders, investors + educators to talk about innovation in education.

Two recent guests: @deborahquazzo and @John_Bailey. Both incredible interviews.

Who should we interview next?

[Shauna Causey @ShaunaCausey]

It's been quite a year for education--kids, families, teachers & edtech founders. What does the future look like?

I'm ecstatic for one of my favorite VC's @deborahquazzo to join me tonight for "Future of EdTech" convo on Clubhouse at 7pm PT.

DM if you need a Clubhouse invite.

For our piece on homeowners insurance coverage and pandemic pods, the founder of @JoinWeekdays Micro-Schools @ShaunaCausey shared her expertise: "A lot of parents and educators are doing all this for the first time and overlook how important insurance is." https://t.co/0ByiiOhdvQ
