Describe the challenge you want to address:

Parents may struggle with having a place to leave their child while they work. Sometimes parents don't have a relative or can't afford a babysitter and this leads to them having tho choose work or stay home to take care of their child and this can lead to them not being able to make ends meet and lead to a downward spiral.

What is the solution to the challenge?

By creating a program that can be Educational, promote exercise and healthy habits and can be a better alternative to leaving a child home alone or with a babysitter who will just do the bare minimun. This program is similar to summer camp but would be free for students and offer more in population dense neighborhoods.
