Scout, a new startup, aims to help working parents find kids activities

Scout CEO Jennifer Nadelson says working parents’ struggle to find childcare isn’t just a Covid thing. “This is a foundational structure that already put working parents — and in particular, working women — under a tremendous amount of stress,” she said. The startup launched an app last year aimed at giving parents more options for activities that are tailored to their kids’ interests, and available at the times working parents need them.
