Daycare Compass
A comprehensive mobile application that guides new parents through the daycare selection process with expert-curated questions and checklists, and provides tools for tracking child health, managing illnesses, and generating clear communication templates for daycare staff and medical providers.
Target customer
First-time parents, parents relocating or seeking new daycare, parents with children frequently ill in daycare who feel overwhelmed and unprepared.
Problem-solution fit
The app directly addresses the parent's explicit pain of asking 'all the wrong questions' and 'paying so dearly' for a poor daycare choice. It streamlines communication and health tracking, reducing stress, improving outcomes for both child and parent, and empowering parents to advocate for their child's needs.
