I personally believe Toronto hosts some of the best child care resources and options for young working parents, though issues of affordability and information asymmetry are palpable.
I'm not naive to think that technology alone can fix this problem, but we are looking to balance the scale by 1) making existing child care resources easily accessible and 2) connecting parents and alternative caregiver options to fill the gaps that the current industry left behind. We are calling it Kindervillage (http://kindervillage.ca/).
Last May, I built a custom tool to improve my own workflow in preparing and sharing course materials for hundreds of students each year. After 14 months of publicly testing the tool, I am pleased to let you know that the tool has been a sleeper hit with more than 10,000 projects created since launch.
With the help of my friends and colleagues, I am pleased to announce the launch of Letterform --- a new brand for the tool as well as our future endeavour to make text content publishing easier for everyone. Check it out at https://letterform.app/.
