For years, parents have turned to Winnie to find trusted childcare and early education. Now, we're taking things to the next level: introducing K-12 school search on Winnie! With a mission to make high-quality care and education accessible to all, Winnie's new service will empower parents to find the best schools for their children, from infancy through high school.
Finding the right school for your child can feel overwhelming. With over 130,000 K-12 schools in the United States, parents are often left sifting through rankings and reviews without a clear sense of which school is truly the best fit for their family. That's where Winnie comes in.
With this expansion, Winnie is making it easier than ever for parents to discover, compare, and connect with K-12 schools—whether you're looking for a top-rated public school, a specialized charter or magnet program, or a private school with a unique approach.

Why K-12? Why Now?
Our mission at Winnie has always been to make high-quality education accessible to all. Since 2016, Winnie has helped over 25 million families find childcare, and now, we're extending that support through the entire educational journey, from infancy all the way through high school.
Unlike other platforms that focus on scoring and ranking schools, Winnie offers a holistic view of schools to help families find the right fit for their needs. Whether you're searching for:
- STEM-focused programs
- A strong school community
- Diverse extracurriculars and enrichment opportunities
- Onsite aftercare for busy families
Winnie puts the power in parents' hands with search and comparison tools that actually make sense.
Starting today, families can explore K-12 school options on Winnie, schedule tours, and get the inside scoop on what makes each school unique.
We're just getting started—and we can't wait to empower even more families in their search for the perfect school.
