Our Mission

At Tiny Steps, our mission is to simplify daycare management so that educators can focus on what matters most — nurturing young minds. We believe early childhood education deserves smart, intuitive tools that lighten the load, not add to it.

Our Story

Tiny Steps was born out of firsthand experience in the daycare world. Our founders — a team of educators, parents, and technologists — saw how outdated systems and paperwork slowed down passionate teachers. So, we built something better.ā€ØFrom a sketch on a napkin to a platform used by daycares nationwide, we’ve grown with the belief that small steps lead to big change.
