Peace to you! What up doe?

Thank you for your interest in working with us.

Collective Work: We believe in shared labor and decision-making that is sustainable and community-driven. We create a culture of mutual responsibility and group work.

Economic Justice: We charge a living wage of $15/hr for all of our childcare providers and engage in trading to support families and small organizations who are unable to afford our rates.

Racial Justice: We support and celebrate Black children, Brown children, Native Turtle Island children, Asian children, and all children of color. We honor the many ways they express themselves and their cultures. We also center the needs of our childcare providers of color.

Gender Affirmation: We support children’s agency and celebrate the many different ways that gender can be expressed and explored. We are womanist and feminist in how we engage with children.

Body Affirmation: We celebrate all body types, especially fat bodies, differently-abled bodies, and any bodies that fall outside the dominant norm. We firmly believe Sonya Taylor’s mantra that the body is not an apology.

Consent Culture: Except in life-threatening or dangerous situations, we ask children for permission before any physical interaction and honor their decisions. We believe a child should not be forced or shamed into physically interacting with an adult. It is OKAY if your child doesn’t want to hug us, shake our hands or wave to us.

Restorative Justice: We practice safe, reflective, and holistic accountability. We are never punitive, physical, or coercive with children. We do not micromanage children.

Child Friendly Activism: We believe that children can be included in activist spaces and we engage them meaningfully in social justice issues.

Informal Work / Informal Economy Affirmation: We support sex workers, workers on food stamps, disabled workers, workers in the cannabis industry, formerly incarcerated workers, and migrant workers. We will protect the privacy of families we work with. We do not collaborate with the police or ice.
