Winnie: Find Child Care Nearby
Daycares, preschools & more
Winnie connects parents with the best local day cares, preschools, and school-age programs. The app’s intuitive search feature allows you to search by your child’s age, your care schedule, and the date you want to start (you can also filter results to only see locations with current openings).
What we love: Every care provider in Winnie has a full profile detailing hours, schedules, licenses, and program information, like transport services, meals, and more. Once you’ve found the one, contact them through the app.
Quick tip: The app’s forum is a safe space to ask the tough questions about parenting. Post a question to the relevant topic—LGBTQ+, money, potty training, time management—and connect with other parents who have similar experiences. You can also post and reply anonymously.
Meet the creator: Winnie was developed by Anne K. Halsall and Sara Mauskopf, two working moms who bonded over the frustratingly long search to find childcare. Their goal is to make quality early education accessible to more families.
