Finding licensed childcare is broken

📋

Waitlists That Go Nowhere

Up to 4 years. Your name goes on a list and disappears. No updates. No movement. Families wait through pregnancies, job changes, and entire childhoods.

📞

A Full-Time Job You Did Not Sign Up For

Centre 1: voicemail. Centre 2: call back next week. Centre 3: no answer. Finding childcare has become a second job with no pay and no end.

❓

You Can't Find What Isn't Visible

Spots open every day. Families move. Schedules shift. But nothing tells you that. No platform. No map. No answer. Just more waiting.
