Bringing Up Tech-Baby | James Armijo from Smartcare


Millennials are having children and putting them in daycare, and to best serve a population raised in the digital age, daycare centers need to modernize. Or so says Smartcare, a technology company hoping to inspire daycare centers to dust off that PC in the corner and use it to bill customers, track children, and even monitor diaper changes.

On this installment of UpTech Report, we interview James Armijo, Smartcare’s cofounder and CEO, who talks about the challenges of bringing high-tech solutions to a low-tech sector, and how he looks for innovation by swiveling his chair to the people behind him and the business across the street.

Understanding millennial parents

Wish your child’s daycare could get with it and join the 21st century? So does James Armijo from Smartcare. He tells us about his technology for the caretakers who watch your kids all day.

“I think that millennial parents are putting their kids in daycare and know that they want a certain experience but are not exactly sure what to ask for. And childcare providers want to provide good care but don’t know exactly how to do that.”
