For Shared Service Alliances
Empower Your
Child Care Network
A financial solution built exclusively for Childcare Providers.

Parachute includes a built-in tool that handles all the calculations, so your providers and their tax professionals don't have to!

Reporting
Provide your network with easy access to their Schedule C, 8829, and 1099-K forms directly from us for effortless tax season management.
Faster Payments with Parachute
Gone are the days of providers waiting days or a week for their payments to process after a parent has paid. With ParaPay, funds are processed within just 1 business day of the transaction.
What Providers Dreamed Up
But why stop there? After all, the sky is the limit. We asked thousands of childcare providers what their dreams are for the ultimate financial tool. Their insights inspired us to build Parachute, tailored to their unique industry needs and aspirations.
