FAQ
Questions? Answered.
None at all. If you can fill out a form, you can build your DCareTree website. Pick a template, add your info, and publish — the average setup takes under 10 minutes.
DCareTree is built by oneDesigns, an independent software company focused on small businesses. We built DCareTree because we kept meeting licensed family daycare providers running their entire operation on paper binders and group texts — while enterprise software sat behind paywalls built for large childcare chains. That gap felt worth closing.
