One application, one entry, better outcomes
Enable families to apply for child care and preschool through one point of entry, a unified system to access child care, preschool, subsidies, and more all through a single application.
State systems aren't designed for families
Families accessing assistance programs for everything from child care to pre-K typically have to navigate different agencies, fill out many applications, and enter the same info over and over again.
This fragmentation leads to limited awareness of relevant programs and services, low utilization by eligible families, lag time for families to access the services and care they need, burdensome applications, an incomplete picture for state agencies to make data-driven decisions, and so many more issues.
BridgeCare is the single point of entry for all things early care and education
Apply once
Families enter key details on household info, family size, income range, care needs, and location preferences one time. All required eligibility documents are uploaded in one place.
Families find services in real time
Families are automatically evaluated for eligibility across multiple early education programs, including pre-K, child care, and subsidies, through a single intake. They can explore all licensed providers and view real-time availability from participating programs, reducing numerous applications and the fragmented search process that often spans referrals, spreadsheets, and social media.
Streamline enrollment
Eligible families are guided directly into enrollment, with providers able to confirm placements and track attendance, creating transparency and reducing friction for both families and busy providers.
An integrated system
Providers can manage enrollments, track attendance, and receive payments within a single coordinated system. State administrators have full access to real-time data, creating customizable reporting and demonstrating program impact.
