Why this exists
Nobody was writing for the under six crowd
The best activities to do with my toddler have always come from another mom telling me about it. The rest of the time I was scrolling on a Saturday morning and coming up with nothing, or finding something good and then scrambling to pack up and get there before it ended.
I’m a Franklin mom, and I kept hitting the same wall. Plenty of people post about things to do in Williamson County, but almost all of it’s written for school age kids, and it skips the parts that decide whether an outing works with a toddler. Is there a bathroom. Is there shade. Can a stroller get around it. Does it cost anything for a two year old.
So I check. Little Wilco is the list I wished somebody else was keeping. Every listing names the town, and anything free gets flagged, because free is what most weeks call for.

For local businesses
Want to get in front of Wilco parents?
If you run something families with little kids would be glad to know about, I’d like to hear from you. Preschools, swim schools, music classes, kids haircuts, pediatric dentists, photographers, the places that make a Saturday easier.
Wilco Wednesday is an editorial spotlight on one local business. Deal of the Week shares an offer worth driving for. Both go out to the email list and to Instagram and Facebook, and both are labeled as partnerships, because readers should always know.
