[Highland Park] Childcare Cooperative Update--Wilkins School location?
by Katy Rank Lev 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi folks! I just had a really interesting meeting with Patty from the Wilkins School Community Center and wanted to summarize to let you all know where the childcare cooperative is heading. Patty is working to organize an indoor play space at the WSCC in Regent Square. This playspace is scheduled to be finished in early September. The space, which would be open to members only, is to be opened in evenings and on weekends. That means she is looking for other uses for the space during week days. This is where we come in! In accordance with the recommendations from the Sprout Fund folks, I proposed to Patty that we set up a pilot program at the WSCC. Two days per week, the (shortened name) Pittsburgh Childcare Cooperative members would use the play space from 9:30 until 3:30 and also rent a conference room, complete with nice tables, chairs, carpeting, and wi-fi. The conference room is literally across the hall from the play space room. The group would have access to the kitchen facilities downstairs for children/adults to eat and microwave lunches or snacks. One specific that Patty mentioned was that this space would be for use by children aged 6 or younger ONLY. The financials of the arrangements would be thus: Pittsburgh Childcare Cooperative parents would pay the $40 annual fee to become members of the indoor playspace--a membership that would include access to the space apart from this pilot cooperative program. The additional cost to rent the conference room would be $180 per week. We'd have to meet to discuss fair breakdown of this cost per member, but you can see that this would be quite affordable if we get 20 or more families involved. If this idea is attractive, we can move forward and organize a pilot to run from September through Thanksgiving, at which point we could reassess and plan for the new year! I would like to hear some feedback on this arrangement from potential members. If we decide this is something that interests people, I am excited to move ahead with a revised grant proposal to the Sprout Fund seeking funds for a website as well as funds to cover some of those initial space rental fees.Would you consider 12 hours per week at the WSCC? Please tell me your thoughts and send along additional questions! **Have you joined our facebook group to receive updates? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katy Rank Lev Freelance Writer/Editor www.katyranklev.com 412.444.KATY
