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. nyti.ms/43b4o2W

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.

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. m-gat.es/3A1sMpk

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?

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." bit.ly/37BXdWz

Female unemployment was up double digits for the first time since this statistic started being tracked in 1948. As company builders, how can we help w/ child care (like @JoinWeekdays from @MadronaVL) & maintain a level playing field for the working mom? 53eig.ht/2ZDy4b2

As #BackToSchool season approaches, parents face a COVID conundrum—how to support their kids & keep them safe while working. This week we visit with @JoinWeekdays founder @ShaunaCausey about microschools and linking parents to schools near them. freshchalk.com/blog/meet-the…

It's been inspiring, not surprising, to see my good friend @ShaunaCausey thrive in this moment, as the founding CEO of @JoinWeekdays and thought leader in this time of significant change for education. She is everywhere, @TODAYshow, Fox, @CNBC, @WSJ, making her voice heard.
Big moment for our startup: we made it on @TODAYShow. An idea, an optimistic + hard working team, and timing aligned for us. We're now supporting hundreds of parents & teachers in the midst of forming local micro-schools + adding new scholarship programs. bit.ly/WEEKDAYSMicroSchools

I've been watching the recent homeschool pod movement, and trying to figure out the coming school year for our family, and I'm worried about worsening inequities in our school systems. I did some research into risks & mitigations forbes.com/sites/rebekahbast…
