Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
We are MomCheck. 4 Moms who became 4 Co-founders with 1 great idea. Having gone through the struggles of finding good childcare, we recognized that there should be a better way! MomCheck is that better, smarter, faster way to search for childcare.

In the past, Moms looked through newspaper ads, surfed the internet, talked to co-workers and neighbors to try and piece together information about a couple of daycares. At MomCheck, we created a central location to search and get information on all of the daycares in our area, the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.

When we founded MomCheck, we talked through and researched all the things that we as moms wanted to know about a childcare facility. Then working with industry veterans with over 20 years of extensive childcare experience, we created the MomCheck Report. It is an in-depth, detailed report with questions, checklists, data on the childcare facility and a first-hand narrative that provides parents with the critical facts they need to make an informed childcare decision.

We are a mom-centric company and want to encourage and support moms. We hire and train moms, mostly ones who work as stay at home moms, to be MomCheck Agents for us. Each facility is individually evaluated by our trained MomCheck Agents and reported on in detail using the extensive criteria from the MomCheck report.

Born of the necessity to provide parents a better, more efficient, smarter way to find childcare, we are proud to welcome you to MomCheck.

Please support us with your votes so that we may expand and grow to include other areas across America.
