Lillio

Lillio (formerly HiMama) is a top-rated, all-in-one childcare management software designed to empower early childhood educators, daycare directors, and families. Founded in Toronto in 2013, the platform streamlines the administrative heavy lifting of running an early education center. Under the hood, Lillio offers robust center management tools, automated billing and payment processing, and seamless family engagement features that allow educators to share real-time updates, photos, and daily reports with parents. Moving beyond basic administrative software, Lillio deeply integrates a research-based, state-aligned curriculum (powered by FunShine Express) directly into the app, alongside on-demand professional development courses through Lillio Academy. Their primary target audience includes home daycares, mid-size preschools, and multi-site enterprise childcare programs looking to eliminate paper-based processes and elevate their quality of care. What sets Lillio apart in the EdTech space is its mission-driven approach as a certified B Corporation; by significantly reducing the hours spent on tedious paperwork and compliance tracking, Lillio ensures that educators can spend more meaningful time focusing on the critical early development of the children in their care.
