When they
couldn’t find it,
they built it.
Their full story
Hungry Caterpillars began while Bianca and Bryan Haberek were expecting their first daughter. Childcare was already part of their lives. Bryan grew up watching his mother care for children for decades, building a program rooted in love, structure, and trust. Bianca later began working in that same daycare. It was there that they met and that shared experience shaped firsthand how they understand what young children truly need.
As they prepared to start their own family, they began imagining what that kind of care could look like for their daughters and for families like theirs. They wanted a place led by people who were not only trained in child development but who were also parents themselves, people who understand the worries, questions, and hopes that come with leaving your child in someone else’s care.
So they built it, first for their daughters and then for the community they love, right here in the city where they were born and raised. Hungry Caterpillars is their way of continuing a family tradition of caring for children, carried forward with new energy, new ideas, and the same heart behind it.
