The new platform builds on the company’s history of developing technology to help ensure continuity of care and funding.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wonderschool, the nation’s leading provider of technology to support child care providers and states, today announced the launch of Wonderschool Oversight™ to help agencies detect patterns of child care subsidy fraud early, conduct timely audits, and strengthen payment integrity without disrupting access to care for families.
Drawing on the company's existing partnerships with more than a dozen states, including Florida, New Mexico, Michigan, Missouri, West Virginia, and Illinois, Wonderschool Oversight was designed to boost transparency, strengthen accountability, and protect public dollars in order to ensure stability for families and providers.
“The child care providers that American families rely on are, themselves, often reliant on manual, paper-intensive processes that can exacerbate the oversight challenge for state and federal funders,” said Chris Bennett, CEO of Wonderschool. “Our work with both states and high-quality providers puts us in a unique position to create tools that streamline provider operations while giving agencies visibility into the administration of critical public benefits for children.”
Wonderschool Oversight enables state agencies edit agencies to centralize often fragmented program data to stand-up continuous, risk-based scoring that draws upon Wonderschool’s advanced analytics and AI models. By bringing together enrollment, attendance, billing, and licensing data in a unified view, the platform can surface patterns that warrant review. Importantly, its explainable insights allow teams to understand why activity was flagged and act with confidence, preserving professional judgment while avoiding undue burden on providers.
States can deploy Wonderschool Oversight as a standalone solution that integrates with existing subsidy management, licensing systems, and third-party child care management systems (CCMS), allowing agencies to implement oversight capabilities quickly and scale as needs evolve.
Wonderschool Oversight can also be paired with any combination of Wonderschool’s CCMS, subsidy management and licensing management solutions to further strengthen governance and transparency. These solutions are already widely used by many states to support the expansion of child care programs, streamline administration, and spot potential misuse or fraud early.
