Parents Returning to Work
As a fellow working mom, I understand the rollercoaster of emotions that can accompany returning to work. The excitement of engaging in adult conversations and reclaiming a part of your identity is often coupled with the anxiety of finding a childcare provider you can rely on. My mission is to alleviate the stress of this transitional period, enabling you to pursue your professional goals without sacrificing your child's care and development.
At Little Sprouts, we recognize the financial strain that childcare can place on some families. That's why we offer rates approximately $8,000 lower than other local agencies for moms returning from leave, ensuring that finding quality care remains accessible and affordable. Every working parent deserves the support they need to succeed at home and in their career.
In addition to our competitive rates, we have cultivated a network of skilled lactation consultants and mental health providers. We understand that the challenges of working motherhood extend beyond childcare, and we are committed to connecting you with the resources you need to navigate this season of life with confidence and ease. Whether you require guidance in maintaining your breastfeeding journey or support in managing the emotional demands of balancing work and family, our network of experts is here to help.
