Research indicates that families in the United States with children allocate a minimum of 10% of their household income towards childcare expenses. Additionally, 58% of working parents depend on childcare facilities to provide care for their children.

Its founders established the company out of frustration and determination to address the challenges within the industry.

Since its establishment in 2017, the company has grown steadily and now serves more than 2 million families across the United States, supporting tens of thousands of care providers across all 50 states.
