Why us

Built by teachers, for programs our size

Every feature in My Childcare App came out of a real problem we hit while running White Clay Daycare, our own nature-based program in Landenberg, PA. We built it for ourselves first, then shared it with other providers who wanted the same thing: something simple that just works.

What that means for you

Designed from the classroom floor

Logging a nap or a diaper change takes seconds, because we log them too.

Support from a person, not a bot

You email us and we answer — no ticket queue, no call center.

Priced for small programs

One plan, no per-feature upsells, no enterprise modules you'll never open.

The difference

Most childcare software is built for centers with 200 kids.

If you run an in-home daycare or a small preschool, you've felt it — a dozen modules you don't use, a price built for a chain, and a support line that never met a toddler.

The usual way
  • Three apps for billing, photos, and messages
  • Training days before anyone can log a nap
  • Enterprise pricing for a six-child program
  • Chatbots and hold music when something breaks
With My Childcare App
  • Billing, feed, chats, and calendar in one place
  • Set up in an afternoon, teachers learn it in minutes
  • One honest price that fits a small program
  • A real person replies, often the person who built it

Our story

A childcare app run by lifelong teachers.

01

We still run the program

White Clay Daycare is open every weekday — enrolling families, chasing tuition, writing daily notes. whiteclaydaycare.com

02

We built what we needed

One tool for the feed, the invoices, and the parent conversations, nothing else.

03

Now other providers use it

Every request from a provider gets read by an educator, and the good ones get built.

If a feature doesn't help a teacher get through the day, it doesn't ship. That's the whole roadmap.

In their words

Built by educators, trusted by educators

Simple, everything I actually need

“I run a nature based Reggio in-home daycare in Landenberg, PA. I was using different apps for billing, messaging, photo sharing, etc. Other solutions have millions of things I don't use and cost more. This is perfect for my wheelhouse.”

Best support I've had using an app

“We don't need something complicated. MCA gives us exactly what we need to communicate with families and stay organized. We love that we don't have to deal with chatbots or a call center. Rich is always available when we need support.”
