Neztio joins The Preschool Posse as a Powerhouse Partner

Early childhood is a field where people carry enormous responsibility, often without anyone to ask. The Preschool Posse exists to change that, and we wanted to be part of it.

Quick Answer

Neztio has joined The Preschool Posse as a Powerhouse Partner. The Preschool Posse is a community for early childhood educators, directors, and owners, built on the idea of community over competition. Read the full partnership spotlight interview with our Head of Growth and Partnerships, Megan Trezise.

Who The Preschool Posse is

The Preschool Posse is a community for the people doing the work of early childhood: educators in the classroom, and the directors and owners running the programs around them. It was created, in their words, for the village, by the village. Members share ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another, and the organization backs that up with training, resources, and a grant program.

What stood out to us is that it is not a place to talk about early childhood in the abstract. It is a place that supports the people doing the work, which is a different and much rarer thing.

Why we joined

Growth happens when people in early childhood stop trying to figure everything out in silos. An educator working through a hard classroom dynamic and a director carrying enrollment, billing, compliance, and staffing are solving different problems, and both are usually solving them alone. A community where someone has already worked through the thing in front of you is worth more than most software.

Community over competition means recognizing that there is enough room for all of us to do meaningful work and that we are stronger when we share what we know. Collaboration does not mean we all have to do things the same way. It means we can have different approaches, different philosophies, and different businesses while still wanting the same bigger outcome: better experiences for children and families.

Megan Trezise, Head of Growth and Partnerships

That is the part we wanted to stand next to. We are building Neztio with childcare providers rather than only for them, and that only works if we are in the rooms where providers are talking honestly about what is hard.

What this means for providers

Practically, the partnership gives us a way to be useful to a community we are not at the center of. A few things it opens up:

  • A direct line to us

    Posse members can reach the people building Neztio, not a support queue. If something is broken or missing, we want to hear it from the person it is failing.

  • Shared resources, not a sales pitch

    Our guides, calculators, and templates are free and open to anyone, member or not. Nothing sits behind a demo request.

  • A voice in what we build

    Our first centers get hands-on onboarding and a real say in what we improve next. Community feedback shapes the roadmap.

The Preschool Posse interviewed Megan about how Neztio started, who it is for, and what we hope to change about the administrative load childcare providers carry. It covers the origin of the company, what we think makes it different, and the advice she would give to someone starting out.

The bottom line

Independent and home-based providers do work that matters enormously, often with less time, budget, and support than larger organizations. We think they deserve the same quality of tools, which is why Neztio has a free plan for up to 15 children and publishes every price on the website rather than hiding it behind a sales call.

If you run a program and want to see what that looks like, you can start free without talking to anyone.
