children can be unpredictable.

but childcare doesn’t have to be. 

Patch is the first and only childcare solution designed for frontline workers.


THE VISION

Succeeding as an employee shouldn’t mean sacrificing as a parent. We help employers build workforces where employees can show up to work while also showing up for their families.

Finding reliable childcare can feel impossible. But with Patch, employers can unlock a new form of support for working parents.

Patch helps parents access targeted solutions to address even the most acute childcare challenges.

Employers that partner with us cultivate reliable, well-supported workforces.

Patch provides parents with everyday peace of mind, allowing them to show up for their shifts and advance their careers.


OUR VALUES


The 13 million hourly-working parents in the US have long been excluded from innovation. At Patch, we have reimagined every dimension of childcare to serve the unique affordability and accessibility needs of these families.

build for what could be


Patch solutions have been developed alongside the families who have too often been left behind - from hospital unit clerks, to hospitality and retail workers, to hourly associates on manufacturing floors. We continually innovate and incubate alongside the parents and employers we serve.

start & end with listening


We are laser-focused on flexibility, simplicity, trust and safety, and we are driven to create solutions that work for both parents and their employers.

solve for simple


We know that working families face multiple forms of instability that can keep them from building sustainable careers. Patch provides parents with the resilience they need to show up to work and succeed every single day.

equity is our compass

“Patch has been life changing for me. I have three kids on my own and I don’t have a support system. Knowing my employer wants to provide this kind of support shows me that they actually care .”
