Our story

Shaped by real days in a real daycare.

My wife has run an in-home daycare for over 20 years. We tried the paid tools and the big platforms, but nothing quite fit how her program actually runs day to day.

So I started building small tools to make her days a little easier. Over time, they grew into Wylari.

That same hands-on experience still guides what we build next.
