Challenge

Outdated child care systems limited efficiency, profitability, and flexibility for families, teachers, and centers.

For US child care centers that still rely on outdated software or manual workflows, these inefficiencies contribute to high labor costs, scheduling gaps, and up to $1.4 billion in work hours lost for parents who face disruptions in care.

Child Care Seer, founded by entrepreneur Tom Callahan, set out to modernize the industry with an ERP-style platform. The vision was to give parents more flexibility, enable teachers to work fewer hours while earning more, and help centers improve profitability. To achieve this, the company needed a partner with the technical expertise to design and deliver enterprise-grade software quickly.

Solution

Toptal assembled a curated development team to design and deliver Child Care Seer’s management platform.

To turn the founders’ vision into reality, Child Care Seer partnered with Toptal for immediate access to world-class engineering expertise. Toptal matched the company with developers skilled in ASP.NET, Vue.js, Microsoft SQL, and AWS hosting, along with a project manager to guide the build. Together, they created a robust software solution tailored to the unique demands of child care providers.

The platform introduced flexible scheduling, automated billing, labor efficiency tracking, and integrated Stripe payments. With Toptal talent embedded as part of the team, Child Care Seer reached the market in record time. The collaboration combined technical excellence with industry insight, laying the foundation for a scalable product that could reshape operations across the sector.

Outcome

Child Care Seer launched faster, improved profitability, and delivered a flexible model benefiting families, teachers, and centers.

With Toptal’s team, Child Care Seer went to market in record time with a platform that streamlined operations for child care providers. Scheduling, billing, and labor management became more efficient, allowing centers to focus more attention on children and families.

The system also reshaped the economics of care. Parents could pay only for the hours they needed, teachers could work fewer hours while earning more, and centers saw higher profitability. This “win, win, win” model demonstrated how applying enterprise-grade technology could transform a multibillion-dollar industry and lay the foundation for long-term growth.

If you want to fail fast, do it the other way. If you want to succeed, use Toptal.
