Tadpoles selects BlueSnap to modernize and simplify payments for childcare centers and families by offering cards and ACH.

Waltham, MA –  August 18, 2020 –  BlueSnap, the All-in-One Payment Solution for Platforms, today announced its partnership with Tadpoles, an early childhood program management and communication platform that connects over 43,000 families and serves nearly 500,000 children, to offer Tadpoles Family Billing, streamlining operations for both families and program directors when they need it the most.

Tadpoles delivers everything early childcare programs need to build strong relationships with families, streamline program management, and simplify teachers day-to-day tasks – all within an easy to use solution that also integrates with the formative assessment tools and curriculum that are critical to a child’s success, resulting in a truly holistic solution that is unmatched in the marketplace.

The new Tadpoles Family billing feature offers a fully integrated, flexible, and customizable billing solution that is powered by BlueSnap. Early childcare centers can create custom billing plans, share invoices with families, and report on revenue – all from one place. Instead of paying face-to-face by check, families can now pay using major debit and credit cards, or their bank accounts from the safety of their homes. Automated billing notifications and reminders improve cash flow and robust reporting simplifies financial reconciliation, reducing the burden on administrative staff.

Childcare  centers can sign up for the billing module directly on the Tadpoles platform. 

“When looking for a payment partner, we were looking for an organization that would be able to provide quality support to both Tadpoles and our center directors. In addition, we wanted a solution that was easy for our engineering team to integrate with and would be fully embedded into our software so users have access to everything in one place,” said Scott Balwinski, COO at Tadpoles. “BlueSnap quickly demonstrated that they are able to deliver on our goals. In addition, they have deep experience in the education technology space.”  

“BlueSnap’s integrated payment for platforms solution combines strong technology with the expert guidance around implementing and running a successful payments program,” said Jeff Coppolo, SVP of Partnership Development at BlueSnap. “We look forward to Tadpoles Family Billing becoming a core module for childcare centers while also providing a new revenue stream for Tadpoles.”
