Remote Childcare

Remote forms of childcare grow in popularity amidst continued restrictions

Trend - Childcare isn't just about watching over children and ensuring their safety, but about nurturing their abilities, keeping them entertained and teaching them. These forms of childcare are being accommodated with remote options amidst the ongoing pandemic--with everything from virtual storytelling to camps being options for kids.

Insight - The ongoing pandemic has brought on a unique set of challenges for parents of young children--crucial aspects of child-rearing like childcare, education, and entertainment have all been disrupted and have forced parents to adapt despite their circumstances. Products and services that ease this continued transition are therefore especially appealing to parents.
Workshop Question - How is your brand easing transitions for customers amidst the ongoing pandemic?
