Kiddy.care, an innovative digital platform dedicated to simplifying the booking process for short-term spots in kindergartens, has secured a significant investment of $200,000 from Maxim Patrin, Co-Founder of the successful telemedicine service Likar Online. This funding marks a significant milestone for Kiddy.care, enabling the company to accelerate its growth and enhance its innovative offerings. By connecting parents with available short-term and drop-in childcares in real-time, Kiddy.care provides a convenient and flexible solution for busy families. The company is dedicated to making childcare more accessible and efficient, transforming the way parents manage these needs.
Before securing this investment, Kiddy.care had already launched its Minimum Viable Product (MVP), which included a comprehensive suite of features for both daycares and parents. The mobile application for daycares featured functionalities such as creating a daycare account with all necessary information, opening and editing available slots, receiving booking requests, and confirming or canceling bookings. The parents’ app allowed them to register their child in the application, complete with a questionnaire and photo, and search for and book available daycare slots in their required location.
Subsequent iterations of the MVP have added several valuable features, including ratings and reviews, notifications of available slots for parents, online check-in and check-out for children, child attendance tracking, a waiting list, and HIPAA-compliant secure transmission of the child’s medical data. These additions have significantly enhanced the usability and appeal of the platform, setting a strong foundation for further growth.
Timur Egorov, Co-Founder and CEO of Kiddy.care, introduced the groundbreaking idea in response to his own challenges in finding flexible childcare solutions. Mr. Egorov shared his vision for the future development of Kiddy.care: “We are incredibly grateful for Maxim’s investment, which will allow us to expand and enhance our platform. With this funding, we plan to introduce additional features to our mobile applications for both daycares and parents. Future updates will include enhanced ratings and reviews, notifications for parents about available slots, online check-in and check-out for children, child attendance tracking, a comprehensive waiting list, and secure HIPAA-compliant transmission of the child’s medical data. These features will further improve the user experience and solidify Kiddy.care’s position as a digital tech leader in the childcare booking industry.”
Maxim Patrin’s investment underscores the potential of Kiddy.care’s unique approach. Patrin, a seasoned entrepreneur with a proven track record in the digital health sector, brings valuable expertise and support to the venture. “The concept Timur has developed is truly innovative and meets a significant demand in the market. Kiddy.care has the potential to transform the childcare industry, and I am excited to support its growth,” Patrin commented.
