Hustle Workshop to Expand Child Care
Hustle Workshop and its on-site child care have received more than $63,000 in grants to help Little Workshop Child Care serve working families.
According to the press release, $20,000 is intended to reimburse childcare costs for families in need.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to continue our support for working families, especially working mothers,” CEO Kelli Riley said in a statement, adding that the funds will help the coworking space serve more families and help families who otherwise might not have access to childcare.
The scholarships are funded by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood Grants Program, as well as the Colorado Department of Human Services Licensing Grants Program. Both are aimed at strengthening the child care workforce, providing safe and secure learning environments for children, and providing access to affordable child care for lower-income families.
Hustle Workshop is a coworking and event space in Centerra that offers affordable and flexible workspace, childcare, professional development programming, event and conference space, and a yoga studio.
His Small Childcare Workshop opens immediately for children from 6 weeks to 12 years.
