A coordinated child care system that actually works
Support families, providers, and your team with one streamlined platform for child care assistance, eligibility, enrollment, attendance tracking, payments, reporting, and more.
Antiquated systems are standing in the way of better care
Today’s state systems are too often running outdated or patched-together systems that were never designed for the complexity or scale of modern early childhood services.
That disconnect leads to workarounds and manual processes; disparate tools for case management, attendance, and payments; fragmented and inaccessible data; and a confusing, inconsistent experience for families and providers.
It's time to retire outdated infrastructure and invest in a system that reflects how early childhood services actually work.
A better system for families, providers, and the state
Make the experience easier for families
Families enter their details once to determine eligibility and explore care options based on real-time provider availability. Everything happens in one place.
Support providers from intake to payment
Providers can manage enrollments, track attendance, and receive timely payments through a single, easy-to-use interface. Built-in automation reduces administrative load and ensures data flows where it needs to.
Streamline case management
Administrators and teams get intuitive tools to manage eligibility, set policies, and support providers without relying on IT support for every change.
Deliver real-time insights
Generate CCDF reports and other required federal or state reports with ease. Custom dashboards let you track key metrics to demonstrate impact.
Integrate with the systems you already use
Our flexible platform connects with licensing systems, eligibility verification tools, document storage, and more, reducing duplication and improving the accuracy and speed of decision-making.
Like a custom build, but faster, smarter, and stress-free
When states and agencies set out to modernize legacy systems, they’re often faced with a choice: build something custom from the ground up or implement a purpose-built SaaS platform. Here’s why SaaS, especially for early education systems, is the smartest choice:
Faster to launch
Custom builds take years. With BridgeCare's SaaS platform, you get a solution that’s 80–90% ready from the beginning, all that's left is a little configuration to match your needs without custom development.
Lower risk
Custom systems often go over budget, miss deadlines, or fail to deliver on core requirements. SaaS eliminates that risk with a proven, scalable foundation and numerous successes from states across the country.
Designed to evolve
BridgeCare can adapt to evolving policies and operational updates without needing a full rebuild or outside development team. Your system will always keep pace with your goals and requirements.
Continuous improvement
Custom builds often stagnate after launch. With SaaS, you benefit from ongoing innovation, security updates, and feature enhancements, all included as part of your custom package.
Built-in support and maintenance
You don’t have to worry about maintaining code, managing servers, or scaling infrastructure. We handle it all, including dedicated support by chat or email when you need it.
