Case Study: Wonderschool achieves automated, streamlined childcare payments with Plaid

Making childcare payments easier with Wonderschool

Wonderschool, a platform that helps providers start and run in‑home childcare programs and helps parents find and enroll children, faced inefficient payment workflows where checks were still the norm and created extra overhead for both families and providers. To modernize billing and simplify payments, Wonderschool partnered with Plaid to enable bank‑account connectivity and automated ACH payments through the Wonderschool app.

Plaid provided the account‑linking and payment infrastructure (via Plaid Link and ACH capabilities) so users can securely connect bank accounts and process payments within the platform. By integrating Plaid, Wonderschool automated payment collection and processing, reduced administrative friction for providers and parents, and made tuition payments faster and easier to send and receive through the Wonderschool marketplace.
