A joint venture by women-led businesses is aiming to expand access to quality child care and learning environments, while also addressing critical shortages.
B.C.-based NUQO Modular (NUQO) and Natural Pod are joining forces with a goal to accelerate and elevate educational infrastructure in British Columbia’s underserved communities.
Together, the two women-led businesses, which are both certified B Corps, will create sustainable child care and learning environments with an aim to enhance children’s social, cognitive, and emotional development, while also providing cost predictability for clients and building operators.
According to Brigitte Alomes, founder and CEO of Natural Pods, the vision was to create modular, holistic and sustainable childcare environments that integrate naturally with the locations they’re placed at while simultaneously providing children with beautiful and meaningful learning spaces.
“These childcare centres, once built, will be more than just childcare centres, but community hubs, that can be used for parent groups, community meet ups and more,” said Alomes.
