When Emma and I first started EarlyDay in November 2020, the world was sheltering in place and unsure of what was next. While much has changed, it remains that the child care industry is one that still needs our collective attention and support. We need more ideas, more collaboration, and more progress in this space. That’s why I’m so excited to announce EarlyDay's acquisition by Wonderschool. Along with our team, Emma and I will be joining Wonderschool to continue our mission to help child care providers find great talent and support the growth of teachers in the industry. From our very first meeting with Wonderschool CEO and Co-Founder Chris Bennett it was clear that our visions are aligned—let’s work together to expand child care access and invest in the growth of child care programs across the country. Can't wait to see where we go from here!
