The Reality of Child Care Today
A Child Care Crisis Looms
Lack of child care providers and skilled staff
Fragmented and complex child care system
Costly for families to access services
Challenging for providers to get licensed and remain compliant
Difficult to navigate by all interested parties
What needs to be considered when redesigning technologies and processes in child care?
The recently finalized federal Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) rule requires states take actionable steps to:
- Lower the cost of childcare
- Make enrollment easier and faster for families
- Improve and streamline payment practices for providers
Federal funding may be available to cover the costs related to the implementation of these requirements

Child Care Exchange
Solution Management and Deployment
The CCX is a modular, configurable SaaS platform for child care
Built and maintained as a single code-base across states
Deployed independently for each state with the necessary integrations and configurations (i.e. not a multi-tenant environment)
The entire platform is developed, maintained and improved over time by Vimo®
System enhancements and state-specific functions are built into the common platform as configurations, and are available to other states as needed
Any specific ancillary requirements that are best addressed by existing third-party SaaS products, like Learning Management, are filled through licensing and integration of such products
Leverages our proven success in building and refining a common SaaS platform which has supported 8 states running state-based health care exchanges over 9 years off a single codebase
