Mommy Goes to Work and Daddy Goes to Work
Love, support, & belonging for working parents

Going to work doesn't mean leaving them behind. It means leaving with love.

We’re here for one goal: to build deeper connections between working parents, their children, and their employers. Join us and help spread the love!

Bring Your Child to Work Day

Many Bring Your Child to Work Day efforts are for older children. We’ll help you build a great event for the little ones — age 0–7 — and their parents. Each 30-minute round is filled with fun, interaction, storytelling, dancing, and joy. So every working parent feels included.

Read. Love. Connect.

More than books. A bridge between your work and their bedtime story.

Our three beautiful board books about work, connection, and love are perfect gifts for working parents. Page by page, in bright, imaginative illustrations, children discover all the similarities between their parents’ days and their own.

#MommyGoestoWork

Families, desks, hospital night shifts, and a lot of bedtimes.
