The State of Iowa just announced Playground's integration with Iowa's Child Care Assistance Portal is live!
This new data bridge enables providers to simply push their Playground attendance data straight to the CCA portal with the click of a button.
This means no more arduous manual data entry into the current state system. Our statewide integration now makes it even faster and easier for providers to receive Child Care Assistance payments from the State.
This feature alone is saving child care providers 6+ hours every month. When you add in other core features like automatic invoicing, digital paperwork, online registration, family engagement, & immunization tracking, we're seeing providers save entire days each week and entire weeks each month.
The best part is that Early Childhood Iowa is making Playground available to all licensed providers for free for at least 12 months. Providers can get started today in less than 5 minutes.
