Playground is moving faster! We have brought on more engineering talent and are hiring for more. You should see the pace of our development continuously increasing so that we can build you the best child care management system out there :)

Drop-in care is now in beta! If you want to allow families to book care directly through Playground, they can now check availability, book times, and pay, all through the app. You can use this to fill up any open spots or seats and set your own pricing and availability.

Playground is also building a homepage for you to see all of the most important charts, graphs, and information about your school in one place. Please reach out to use if you have ideas for different data or chart that you would like to see when we release this in the next few weeks!
