Over 15 years in childcare.
We're just getting started.

The Desktop has been part of this sector since 2011. What's coming next is the biggest thing we've ever built.

Built from inside the sector.

The Desktop started as a single belief — that childcare services across Australia deserved better tools.

Over more than a decade, we've grown alongside the sector, supporting educators, directors and service managers as the demands on their roles have grown too.
