Playground is a comprehensive child care management software designed to simplify and streamline the administrative tasks of early child care centers.

Playground's founders come from a family deeply rooted in the preschool space. In early 2019 Playground was founded to create easier, more accessible childcare software for child care centers and parents. In the years since, Playground has expanded on that vision to bring parents, teachers, and school administrators the best possible product.
