Playground is beyond excited to announce our integration with 4 new states! Playground is able to automatically send all check-in and check-out data to the state to submit for reimbursement for child care subsidies. We are excited to also be hopefully expanding this to other states in the near future as well.

To further support our enterprises, we added enterprise staff paperwork and enterprise resources. You can now easily create and share staff paperwork and general resources in the same way you are able to share other paperwork types at the enterprise level. To streamline managing multiple locations, we released a more robust dashboard to manage all the categories and tags for each of your centers.

Another huge release this week is a dramatic improvement in our billing and reporting process. Playground now supports accrual accounting in addition to balance based accounting. Playground is able to ensure that each credit and debit is properly mapped and reported as billing changes.
