Logatot

Thank you Ropes & Gray LLP & Citi for supporting our partners at The National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC) in this critical way. We are reposting to support greater reach.

This Labor Day Weekend, let’s take a moment to reflect on the immense challenges faced by those who work with our youngest children: A staggering 80% of former family child care educators cited the burdens of compliance, licensing, and subsidy systems as reasons for leaving the field. 53% pointed to the overwhelming working conditions, including the strain of managing compliance requirements. These stats aren't just numbers; they represent the constant struggles of caregivers who are passionate about their work but are often weighed down by unrealistic demands. At Logatot, we believe in lightening the load. By #usingyourvoice and removing the weight of manual data entry, caregivers can focus on what truly matters—themselves and the kiddos in their care. This #LaborDay, let’s honor care providers by working together to make lasting, positive changes for careers in care. Let's be #bettertogether.

Compensation and compliance are key issues in child care. Care providers are highly skilled workers who have been historically underpaid and weighed down with low-value mandated manual data entry. Thank you to the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment, UC Berkeley, for recently sharing essential compensation measures from New Mexico.

A few months ago, I crowdsourced a database of Boston-area capital. Now, I'm expanding the effort to include a list of Boston-area startups to make it easier for founders and funders to connect. I've started with a list of 50 startups I've encountered at recent events, but I know there are many more out there. https://lnkd.in/ecUrSdD4 If you know an early-stage founder who should be added, please tag them!

Logatot had the privilege of connecting with hundreds of passionate child care providers this weekend at the 2024 Statewide CSEA Local 1000/VOICE Conference in Niagara Falls. We shared how Logatot can help providers #useyourvoice to cut down manual data entry and reclaim 5 to 10 hours each week—time that can be spent focusing on what truly matters: you and the children in your care. Thanks to CSEA/VOICE for your dedication to our communities and partnership. We appreciate you! #useyourvoice #investincare #gratitude #positivechange"

Harvard University's longest study on human development shows that the quality of our relationships is key to health and longevity. From the moment we’re born, these bonds shape our lives. Building strong relationships takes more than just one person. It’s one of many important reasons that families rely on trusted child care providers and enroll their children in group care programs. While compliance tracking helps ensure high-quality care, constantly using devices to manually track every health check, diaper change, and meal can be stressful and distracting. It pulls focus away from being present and engaging in responsive relationships. What’s the impact on our youngest children when adults are reaching for screens so often? #useyourvoice #voicecommandforcare #investincare #careoverclicks

Early educators and child care providers nationwide must complete 15 to 30 hours of training every year to keep their licenses. While families value high-quality care, many don’t see the hundreds of hours providers spend meeting compliance on their own time. These additional, unpaid hours can result in financial wins for providers during tax-filing season—but only if, on top of everything else, providers track their time appropriately. At Logatot, we work to make sure every part of care is seen, heard, and understood. Our tools help providers comply with these rules more easily, allowing them to focus on what really matters—themselves and the children in their care. We deeply appreciate the providers from upstate New York who dedicated their time to join us last night for a training session with CSEA Local 1000 (CSEA Voice). Your commitment to learning and growth is truly inspiring! Let’s keep recognizing ALL that goes into careers in care. Together, we can build, share, and invest in tools that alleviate stress and enhance the satisfaction and profitability of these highly-skilled and essential jobs.  #useyourvoice #careersincare #investinlastingpositivechange #investincare #nomoreinvisiblework

The heavy burden of care compliance is real. Licensed programs nationwide must track attendance, diaper changes, meals, snacks, outside trips, nap times, and daily health checks for every child. And that’s just the beginning. Care is a highly regulated field, and the rules can change from state to state, county to county, and even town to town. This means workers are often stuck doing a lot of manual data entry, taking time away from what really matters. With Logatot, you can #useyourvoice and reclaim valuable time by significantly reducing the data entry workload. Let’s connect.
