Working parents deserve access to high quality child care. We're looking for some energetic minds to help make that happen.
What we do
Kinside tackles the single most challenging part of being a working parent in the modern world: child care. We’re guided by the principle that all families and kids deserve access to high quality care.
The Team
We are backed by top Silicon Valley investors, and founded by successful entrepreneurs and experienced operators. If you enjoy working in a lean and fast moving environment with a mix of flexible working hours and a high standard of excellence, this is right for you.
The Product
Our app connects families to child care providers (ie. daycares and preschools). Offered as an employee benefit, working parents use Kinside to find available openings, set tours and enroll and pay their tuition. For child care providers, Kinside boosts their enrollments and expedites payments. Providers rely on us to connect them to parents from top employers across the USA.
