About Playground Playground is working to make excellent child care accessible to all. Playground has built best in class software to manage all aspects of running a child care business. We believe that providers should focus on providing incredible child care — the kind of work that only people can do — and that software should manage the rest. We're building the child care management platform that eliminates the administrative work of running a center. Playground is at an inflection point  and poised to grow extremely fast. We recently raised millions of dollars, have several statewide contracts, and are working with thousands of schools across the country. Additionally, our founders were recently honored as Forbes 30 under 30. We are a team of owners, who are not afraid to dive into large, complex projects.
