Summarising the Research

The roadmap began with in-depth research into how daycares operate and the services they provide, followed by field visits to study different centres first-hand. Conversations with parents added valuable insights into their experiences and challenges, ultimately revealing a key problem in the childcare ecosystem: while daycares themselves offer varied options, parents struggle to efficiently discover and evaluate all available choices, making it difficult to find the right fit for their child’s needs.

Word-of-Mouth

Information from both known and unknown sources can be unreliable, with validation often uncertain. The reach is limited, and suggestions tend to be repetitive, lacking in-depth exploration.

Online Search

Validating authenticity is uncertain, and contacting daycares proves difficult. There's a greater focus on marketing rather than providing detailed, accurate information about the actual daycare facilities.
