About us
We are a team of empathy-led technologists committed to creating fundamental, systemic change that makes the entire ECE system more equitable and effective.
We are on a mission to turn the dream of high-quality, affordable early care and education for everyone into reality.
Our core values
A culture of CARE
Our values aren't just words on a wall, they're closely integrated into how we work with each other and our clients. CARE is embedded into our practices, decision-making, and relationships.
We believe that a workplace culture of care is an environment where people feel valued, respected, and supported—both as professionals and as individuals.
Communication
We communicate with purpose. We speak plainly, listen deeply, and ask the hard questions. We root every conversation in transparency and thoughtfulness.Ambition
We're here to transform early care and education, and we won't settle for any less. We design with purpose and deliver solutions that make a real difference. Bold goals don't scare us; they fuel us.Respect
We believe respect is more than politeness; it's integrity in action. We believe every voice matters and every perspective counts. We recognize expertise, honor our commitments, own our mistakes, and stay grounded in humility.Empathy
Empathy is our edge; we don't just hear—we listen and act. We trust and feel for our users; families, providers, and partners deserve nothing less. We know care without heart isn't care at all.
Our impact
We believe that the greatest way to impact families and providers is by creating a modern, well-functioning ECE system that puts their needs first. Our platform provides the foundation on which the dream of quality Early Care and Education for everyone becomes a reality.

A message from our CEO
It’s a time to be optimistic about the future of early care in the US and beyond. Since founding BridgeCare, I’ve met countless caregivers and public servants bringing their passion and talent to solve this complex challenge, keeping the needs of children and families front and center as they work.
Our team is dedicated to being a trusted partner to our clients as they leverage our innovative solutions to meet the care needs in their communities.

Our women-led perspective
As a women- and parent-led company, we know firsthand what’s at stake. We’re committed to creating fundamental, systemic change that makes the entire ECE system more equitable and effective.
Enabling equity
A well-functioning and well-funded ECE system is critical for racial and gender equity. Women are most impacted by this fragmented system, and women of color are disproportionately impacted by the inequities of the current systems as both parents and care providers.
Empowering mothers
With child care commonly costing as much (or more) than a mortgage, families feel forced to make the tough decision to have a parent — disproportionately the mother — compromise their career and stay home to raise their families. As a result, 43% of mothers leave the workforce to provide care for their children.
Improving long-term outcomes
Mothers who return to work two years after leaving it to care for their children — when their child enters preschool — have already lost a third of their total lifetime earnings.
