You've got the spreadsheet.
Fifteen daycares. Color-coded tour dates. A column for 'waitlist guess' that's mostly question marks.
We built Cubby so you can close it.

Everything You Need to Search Smarter
Know the Wait Before You Go
See real waitlist data from parents. Infant spots filling up 14 months out? You'll know before wasting a tour.
Real Tuition Data
See what parents actually pay — not the range on the website.
Availability Alerts
Get notified when a spot opens or new data drops for centers you're watching.
Parent Reports
Structured intel from parents who've toured — waitlist, openings, vibe, and real talk.
Freshness Score
Know how recent the data is. Last week vs. last year matters when waitlists move fast.
Austin-First Data
We're starting hyperlocal. Deep, accurate data for Austin — not a thin national layer.
Real Parents. Real Scenarios.
Sarah's 5 months pregnant and just moved to Mueller. She needs to get on waitlists now — but which ones? She opens Cubby and sees that her top pick has a 14-month infant waitlist.
She signs up for 3 waitlists before the baby shower.
Marcus just got the email: his daycare is closing in 60 days. He's got two weeks of PTO and a toddler who needs a spot yesterday. Cubby shows him 4 centers with immediate openings.
He tours 3 places in one weekend and enrolls by Monday.
Priya has toured 6 centers and they're all starting to blur. She pulls up Cubby's comparison: real tuition, real waitlists, real parent notes side by side.
She picks the one that's actually the best fit — not the best marketer.

Cubby was born from 17 tours, 4 spreadsheets, and the realization that every parent in Austin was solving the same problem alone.
