Work / Childcare

Software used by 400+ childcare centers

We built and launched a platform that automates billing, parent communications, waitlists, and registration — the work that used to live in spreadsheets.

The problem

Childcare centers run on enrollment. That means waitlists, registration packets, tuition, and a constant stream of parent questions. Most of it was still manual: spreadsheets for the waitlist, email for updates, and staff time for billing.

Parents needed a way to find a school, get on a list, and pay. Schools needed one place to run that process instead of stitching together tools that were not built for childcare.

What we built

  • Online payments so tuition and fees are not chased by hand
  • Parent communications instead of one-off emails and phone trees
  • Automated waitlist management
  • Registration workflows that replace paper packets
  • A live map so parents can find nearby schools
  • Calendar integration for schedules and important dates

The result

The platform is used by 400+ schools. Billing and parent communications run in the product instead of in inboxes and spreadsheets.

That is the work we still do: take a people-heavy operation, find the expensive manual pieces, and replace them with software that matches how the business actually runs.
