The Campaign FAQs

1. What is Le Village?
Le Village is a community space designed to support working parents by offering flexible coworking, childcare, and educational programs. Our mission is to create a supportive environment where parents can balance work and family life while their children engage in enriching, play-based learning experiences.

2. Why are you crowdfunding?
We’re crowdfunding to expand our offerings and make Le Village accessible to more families. The funds raised will enhance our operational support infrastructure, provide maternity leave to our staff, promote a female driven leadership team, and facilitate the strategic growth and market expansion of Le Village Cowork. Your support will directly impact the lives of teachers, parents and children!

3. What will the funds be used for?
The funds will be allocated to:

  • Expanding our coworking spaces and childcare facilities.
  • Developing new educational programs and resources.
  • Support maternity leaves for our staff members.
  • Enhance our operational support infrastructure.

4. Can I donate to more than one reward level?
Yes! We would love to see that!

5. How does Le Village support working parents?
Le Village provides a unique environment where parents can work with peace of mind while their children participate in enriching, developmentally appropriate activities. We offer flexible hours, part-time and full-time childcare options, and a community of like-minded parents.

6. When and how will I get my reward?
Make sure you provide us with your name, email and address where applicable and we will be sure to send your reward out as soon as possible! 

7. What is your approach to childcare and education?
Our approach is centered on play-based learning and sensory play activities. We believe in fostering creativity, curiosity, and social-emotional development through open-ended, child-led experiences. Our programs are designed to meet the developmental needs of children while allowing them to explore and grow at their own pace.

8. How can I trust that my contribution will be used effectively?
Le Village is a community-focused organization with a proven track record of supporting families. We are committed to transparency and will provide regular updates on how the funds are being used. Our goal is to ensure that every dollar raised goes directly toward improving the experiences of parents and children in our community.

9. Can I visit Le Village before contributing?
Absolutely! We encourage potential backers to visit Le Village, meet our team, and see our facilities in person. You can schedule a tour or attend one of our open house events to learn more about our mission and impact. Schedule a tour at www.levillagecowork.com

9. What happens if you exceed your funding goal?
If we exceed our funding goal, the additional funds will be used to further enhance our programs and services. This could include expanding to a scholarship fund or developing new community initiatives.

10. How can I stay updated on the progress of the campaign?
You can stay updated by following us on social media (@levillagecowork.com), subscribing to our newsletter on our website www.levillagecowork.com, and checking our crowdfunding page regularly. We’ll be sharing milestones, success stories, and behind-the-scenes looks at how your contributions are making a difference.
