Abstract

Childspace represents three separate but closely connected organizations operating in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Childspace Management Group (CMG), a for-profit worker cooperative; Childspace Day Care Centers (CDCC), comprised of three nonprofit childcare centers in the Mount Airy, Germantown, and West Philadelphia neighborhoods; and Childspace Cooperative Development, Inc. (CCDI), a nonprofit organization focused on policy advocacy, training, and leadership development among childcare center owners, directors, and workers. This case study focuses on the structure, collaboration, and cooperative practices among the three organizations.
