WaitNest: Daycare Waitlist App

Finding the right daycare shouldn't mean drowning in sticky notes, spreadsheets, and forgotten callbacks. WaitNest is the daycare waitlist tracker built for busy parents who are juggling multiple childcare options at once.

Whether you're starting your daycare search or managing six waitlists simultaneously, WaitNest keeps every inquiry, deposit, tour date, and follow-up deadline organized in one place — so you never miss a spot.

TRACK EVERY PROVIDER IN ONE PLACE
Add daycare centers, preschools, and childcare programs with full details — name, address, phone, email, website, age bands, and custom tags like Montessori, Bilingual, Outdoor Focus, Meals Included, and more.

FOLLOW EACH PROVIDER THROUGH YOUR PIPELINE
Move providers through clear stages: Researching → Contacted → Waitlisted → Toured → Accepted → Enrolled (or Declined/Withdrawn). Always know where you stand at a glance.

NEVER FORGET A CALLBACK OR DEADLINE
Set reminders for deposit deadlines, tour visits, follow-up calls, and custom dates. Get a push notification at 9 AM on the due date so you never miss a deadline — even if you forget to open the app. Overdue and upcoming reminders appear front and center on your dashboard.

COMPARE SIDE BY SIDE
Select providers and compare them in a clear side-by-side matrix — fees, age bands, fit scores, tour notes, and more — all in one view.

RATE & SCORE YOUR FIT
Use the 5-star fit scoring system to rate how well each childcare provider matches your family's needs.

RECORD FEES, DEPOSITS & DATES
Track daycare fees, deposit amounts, payment dates, inquiry dates, and tour schedules.

EXPORT & SHARE
Generate a clean text or PDF summary and share it with your partner, family, or anyone helping with the childcare search.

WaitNest stores all your information locally on your device. No cloud accounts, no sign-ups, no data leaving your phone.
