Avoid the mistakes of legacy state systems

BridgeCare represents the next evolution of statewide early childhood infrastructure. Learn how a more modern, human-centered approach is changing the way states operate from the top down.

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.

Subsidy Management

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Today’s state systems are too often running outdated or patched-together systems that were never designed for the complexity or scale of modern early childhood services.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It's time to retire outdated infrastructure and invest in a system that reflects how early childhood services actually work.

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.
