Connects parents with childcare providers

About Wonderschool

Wonderschool connects parents with quality preschools, daycares, and in-home childcare programs. The platform works by recruiting and training childcare providers through a 12-week program, even if they lack prior licensing. This training helps providers gain the skills needed to run successful childcare programs and assists them in obtaining the necessary licenses and meeting health and safety standards. Unlike many competitors, Wonderschool offers a subscription-based service that provides childcare providers with tools like automated billing, parent communication portals, and ongoing professional development. The goal of Wonderschool is to simplify the childcare process for both parents and providers, ensuring high-quality care while reducing administrative burdens for providers.
