It takes more than just software to build an early care and education (ECE) system that works for everyone. It takes strong partnerships rooted in trust, experience, and credibility. When assembling the 2024 Power Partner list, Inc.'s respected team of editors, researchers, and reporters looked for companies that demonstrated those virtues to "ensure that the sales pitch matches the actual client experience."

In BridgeCare's case, the client reviews, testimonials, and overall sentiment spoke for themselves. As a trusted partner for a growing number of states, counties, and regional organizations, BridgeCare has helped modernize and transform a wide variety of ECE ecosystems, providing the data and technology infrastructure needed to effectively serve providers and families.

Unlike other industries, where tech companies fill a more transactional, vendor-style role, early care and education is a complex, nuanced field with stakeholders ranging from the highest levels of government to the most underserved and disadvantaged families. BridgeCare's sole focus on ECE puts us in a unique position to serve as a strategic partner and advisor to our clients, identifying opportunities for process improvement and configuring our solutions to meet their very specific needs.

In 2024 alone, BridgeCare supported state- and county-level Universal Pre-K rollouts, large-scale child care resource and referral (CCR&R) data management, statewide workforce registry and professional development initiatives, and more. As the push for more child care support and funding continues at the local, state, and federal levels, we look forward to collaborating with more agencies to manifest the vision of high-quality, affordable, and accessible early care and education for all.
