Parents miss 13 workdays/year due to care breakdowns. The crisis costs the U.S. $122B annually. Abril uses AI to find providers, detect coverage gaps, and alert you before the emergency hits.
Search 24,394 verified childcare providers across DMV + NYC using semantic RAG retrieval. Results scored by distance, quality, age-match, and capacity.
Cross-reference 4 school district calendars (MCPS, FCPS, DCPS, NYC DOE) against your work schedule. Gaps are severity-scored and flagged weeks in advance.
Receive SMS alerts via Twilio weeks before gaps occur, with specific backup care suggestions near you. Plan ahead instead of scrambling.
Current childcare tools help after the crisis. Abril prevents it.
Childcare isn't one-size-fits-all. Neither is Abril.
Over 40% of providers in our database accept childcare vouchers. Abril flags them so low-income families don't have to guess.
Have a toddler and a preschooler? Abril finds providers that serve all your children's age groups and estimates combined monthly costs.
Mothers carry 71% of childcare's cognitive labor. Abril is designed to distribute the load, not add to it.
Highlights providers participating in the MCCYN subsidy program, supporting military families navigating frequent relocations.
"Childcare isn't about smarter to-do lists for one parent. It's about building an operating system for the entire care village — so families can be proactive, not reactive."
