Describe the challenge you want to address:

A lot of parents, specially women in NY struggle to work worry free when the have kids at school, because first: a lot of people dont have anyone who can watch their kids and cant afford a daycare, second, they need to get a job that probably start after 9:30 or 10:00 am , if the kid is not accepted in an afterschool program this types of parents have to work only 3 hours so they can go back pick up their kids, 3rd, days school is not working (that are a lot of days ) they can't work because there isn't anyone to take care of the kids. 4th. They can't work an evening schedule because kids are at home and if they have a partner the partner is not home before the time they need to live the house. That's a big challenge!!

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

We should create more programs whether they are at school or in other institution with a big capacity : a programable to teach the kids new skills, engage the kids in activities that develop their brain, that helps with homewor , that have sports in it, that has a policy of not screen time while in there.

This program will include free bus transportation straight from school to the institution where the program will take place and back to school at the time the program finishes with the options of pickup at the place of the program too.

With this service parents will be able to work a worry free regular schedule knowing the kids are learning and enjoying ath same time and well protected.
