“Can a vertical SaaS for childcare centers monetize tuition flows via embedded PayFac payments while owning the parent, teacher, and director workflow?”
Founded 2015 in Buffalo as a childcare management platform for early education schools and daycares. Embedded payments have been core to the business model from early on — Kangarootime became a Worldpay for Platforms customer, operating a PayFac-style embedded payments arrangement that automates tuition billing for centers and parents. The company expanded into AI-assisted early education via the Clay acquisition and now positions itself as a multi-location CCMS with unified business, classroom, and parent-engagement tooling.
Kangarootime processes payments through Worldpay for Platforms.
Kangarootime was founded by Scott Wayman and is founded in 2015, headquartered in Buffalo, New York, United States.
Kangarootime has raised $40.2M in total (latest round: $26M (2021)).
Kangarootime's acquisitions include Clay.
