We are excited to announce that Indiana child care providers have two years of free access to Playground's industry-leading child care management software.

In an exciting development for early childhood education in Indiana, Playground was selected by Indiana's Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning as an approved child care management software for their new Child Care Management System Program. This partnership brings Playground's state-of-the-art management platform to Indiana's child care professionals, completely free of charge for two years. It's a significant step forward in our shared mission to enhance the quality of child care and education for Indiana's youngest learners.

A Leap Forward for Child Care in Indiana

Understanding the challenges faced by child care providers, Playground has always aimed to simplify the complexities of managing early childhood education programs. Our platform offers a suite of tools designed to streamline operations, foster better communication with families, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Now, thanks to our collaboration with Indiana's Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning, these resources will be accessible to all Indiana child care providers, without the burden of cost, for two full years.

Why This Matters

We often hear stories of child care providers that joined this field out of a love for nurturing, educating and caring for the youngest members of our society - however, they often mention that they were not prepared for all of the administrative responsibilities involved in operating a child care program. The administrative side of child care can get overwhelming, consuming valuable time and resources that could otherwise be spent on engaging with children and families. By offering our software for free, we aim to alleviate these pressures, allowing providers to focus on what truly matters—the children.

The Impact of Technology on Early Childhood Education

The integration of technology in child care management is more than a convenience; it's a game changer. Our platform offers a range of features, including digital attendance tracking, automated billing and invoicing, real-time communication with parents, staff management and payroll, and comprehensive reporting. These tools not only improve operational efficiency (i.e. helping providers reduce delinquency payments by 93%) but also enhance the quality of care provided to children. With easy access to information and streamlined processes, providers can ensure a safer, more enriching environment for every child.

Getting Started with Playground

We've made it easy for Indiana's child care providers to take advantage of this offer. Starting today, providers can sign up through Playground's website to access our software. Our team is committed to making the transition as smooth as possible, offering dedicated support every step of the way. We understand the importance of this partnership and are here to ensure that every child care provider in Indiana can maximize the benefits of our platform.

Looking Ahead

This partnership represents a significant milestone in our mission to support child care providers and improve early childhood education. As we look to the future, we are excited about the possibilities this collaboration brings to Indiana's children and families. We believe that by empowering providers with the right tools, we can make a lasting impact on the quality of early learning experiences, setting the stage for a brighter future for all.

We are proud to partner with Indiana's Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning and look forward to seeing the positive changes this initiative will bring to the state's early childhood education landscape. Together, we are making a difference, one child care center at a time.
