PDX Waitlist

PDX Waitlist is an online child care waitlist and tour scheduling service listed in the childcare enrollment category. It is operated by KidApply LLC, an Oregon limited liability company. The site started with Portland-area providers and parents, and the home page says it is available to any child care center in the United States.

Parents apply to join a provider’s waitlist on a website, in a process the site describes as taking about five minutes, and can apply to several providers. The application collects child information and care preferences. Providers see the list in rank order with filters, and a forecast of the waitlist over twelve months is mentioned. Parents can also register for tours and reschedule them online, and the live tour page lists upcoming tours for several providers. The application is a waitlist application, not an enrollment packet.

Pricing is per application. The plans page lists one Premium plan with tour scheduling, online applications, waitlist management and a parent portal, and says there is no subscription fee. A center sets a waitlist application fee, parents pay it by credit card, and the vendor keeps $20 of each fee. The card processor charges 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction, and the provider receives a check once a month. The features page gives $15 per application, so the two pages disagree. No integrations or API were found.
