How did it start?

“We started our company in the year 2017 and we came up with the funding. It started when I was working at Amazon and all of my friends are also working at Amazon.” Says The founder.

As the founder and her friends were all working mothers, they were facing excruciating pain searching for daycare centers and care centers for their young babies and children.

That time the founder and friends came up with the idea that young working women should not face these problems of finding safe daycare centers and management areas.

That motivated the founders to work on a system that gives a Platform to find proper daycare centers for the children.

Initial challenges

“I was neither a mom nor a preschool teacher, I have no experience in both perspectives. However, I realize that there are a lot of problems around this situation and a lot of young women who wear them in the working arenas are going through this issue. I just wanted to understand the pain point of both sides and that’s why I realize that I need to conduct research for it,” says the founder.
