Pre-K Program Administration
Whether you're expanding access or working to make universal Pre-K a reality, BridgeCare offers a modern, integrated platform to support enrollment, eligibility, provider management, payments, and reporting, all in one place.
Building systems that match the scale of your vision
Expanding Pre-K or launching universal access is a complex and high-impact effort. It requires strong systems that coordinate across programs, ensure that all eligible families are served, support family choice, and manage funding with transparency.
BridgeCare helps our partners make this possible by centralizing intake and eligibility, streamlining enrollment and placement, supporting mixed delivery, automating attendance tracking and provider payments, and delivering real-time data to inform decisions and demonstrate impact.
Simplified family intake
Families complete one application. BridgeCare checks eligibility, aligns preferences with provider availability, and supports timely placement based on local guidelines.
Automated placement
Families select their preferences in alignment with your program goals. Our system then places children automatically, eliminating manual work and saving administrators valuable time.
Easy-to-use tools for providers
Providers can manage enrollments, track classroom capacity, and submit attendance through a single portal, reducing paperwork, saving time, and ensuring accurate reporting.
Timely and accurate payments
BridgeCare calculates payments based on attendance and program rules. Providers receive prompt, transparent payments with built-in documentation for compliance and audits.
Real-time data and reporting
Track enrollment trends, measure inclusion, and generate the reports your team needs for state and federal mandates. Dashboards are easy to use and flexible to support both day-to-day management and long-term planning.
