“Can a childcare operations platform become the financial backbone of every daycare in North America?”
Founded in 2013 as HiMama, the company built the leading childcare center management software in North America, expanding from parent communication into billing, curriculum, and professional development. A C$70M Series B from Bain Capital Double Impact in 2022 funded product expansion and an eventual 2023 rebrand to Lillio. Embedded payments are a core monetization vector — Canadian and legacy US merchants remain on Worldline/Bambora, while new US centers activated after August 2022 sit on a newer 'Lillio Payments' stack.
