TinyMatch alerts you the second a matching spot opens — the right age, right city, right program — before anyone else knows. Built by a Pickering dad who called the Ontario childcare search the Hunger Games and meant it.
Free to search. No credit card required. No spam — ever.
Your child's age, your city, the program type you want — Montessori, full-day, home daycare, French immersion. Set it once. We remember it.
TinyMatch monitors licensed daycares across Ontario in real time. The moment a spot opens that matches your child, we alert you — before it's posted anywhere else.
Message the daycare directly in the app. Request a tour. Track your waitlist position across every centre you're watching. No more voicemail. No more spreadsheets.
My wife and I called it the Hunger Games. We were on lists from three months pregnant, put deposits on daycares we didn't even want, and nearly panicked our way into a spot we would have regretted.
My wife and I moved to Durham from Toronto in 2023, expecting our first. She carried the mental load of the childcare search — I just watched it happen and called it the Hunger Games. We put money down on spots we didn't want because we were panicking. We nearly missed the list for the one we actually wanted.
I have friends who went to medical school. They told me about Match Day — where you rank hospitals, hospitals rank you, and an algorithm finds the best fit. I thought: why doesn't childcare work like that? So I built it.
Now our son is two, baby number two is on the way, and TinyMatch is finally ready. Free to search. Premium alerts from $9.99/month. If it finds you a spot, it's the best $10 you'll ever spend.
When a spot opens, you call down your list and hit three declines before finding someone who still needs you. TinyMatch tells you which families are actually still searching — and connects you to matched, qualified parents instantly.
Join hundreds of Ontario parents getting early access to the province's first real-time childcare matching platform.
