Lillio’s product can be easily visualized in three distinct parts:

Teachers - For early childhood educators, Lillio is an in-classroom tool for daily documentation, learning & development recording and planning, and communication with parents.

Administrators - For preschool owners/directors, Lillio is a back-office tool for monitoring center activity, administrative reporting, collecting tuition payments, and communicating with parents.

Parents - For families, Lillio is a direct window into their child’s life at daycare: Everything from meal details to photos to learning milestones. And of course, a direct line of communication to their child care center. 

We bring all three products together to empower preschool teachers to connect with parents and engage them in children’s learning and development, and help owners streamline running their business. This means you'll also be looking to make an impact on the world beyond dollars and cents– working with a social enterprise you will personally have the opportunity to improve outcomes for tens of thousands of children in Canada, the U.S., and abroad.
