'I’m proud of my family’s legacy,' says film scion Peter Goldwyn, who is taking a bigger leadership role at the children's center catering to entertainment industry workers.

Balancing family and work is a challenge regardless of the industry, but the Hollywood grind often demands long hours, and that can make finding childcare feel impossible. That’s exactly the problem Peggy and Samuel Goldwyn Jr. set out to fix when they opened an entertainment-focused daycare in 1991 and donated it to the MPTF.
“At the time the center was established by my parents, there wasn't anything like this,” says Peter Goldwyn, son of Samuel Jr. and grandson of movie magnate Samuel. “The center is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. So it fits with the actual schedule of a working parent.” The MPTF is gearing up for its centennial celebration in 2021 and chief development officer Courteney Bailey says highlighting the center will be a big part of its overall fundraising efforts. “The building is fantastic, but it was built in 1991,” she says. “It requires care. We recently repainted the buildings, replaced the sand and updated the elevators. They’re not the sexiest initiatives, but they’re vital.
