Why Now Is the Moment to Build Recess
At Recess, we’re building something big — and we’re looking for visionaries who are eager to build with purpose.
Finding the perfect activity for your child—be it a vibrant summer camp, engaging after-school class, or inspiring weekend workshop—shouldn’t feel harder than your day job, but scattered resources, clunky websites, and overwhelming paperwork have turned this joyful search into a daunting chore for millions of parents.
And it’s not just parents feeling this pain. Providers of these programs—the creative educators, enthusiastic coaches, and community builders—are buried beneath mountains of spreadsheets, endless phone calls, and stacks of paper forms. Their passion is often overshadowed by logistical nightmares.
Enter Recess.
We’re revolutionizing how families find and enroll in enriching programs, and how providers manage and grow their offerings. Recess is purpose-built to seamlessly connect families with trusted, engaging activities, while empowering providers with powerful, delightful technology. Imagine the ease of OpenTable or the excitement of ClassPass, but thoughtfully designed for kids’ programs and parent peace-of-mind.
We’ve validated the urgent need for Recess across dozens of cities, repeatedly hearing the same frustrations and dreams from parents, providers, and schools alike. The opportunity ahead is immense—an untapped $40 billion industry waiting for transformation. By building the digital infrastructure these communities desperately need, we’re unlocking more joyful childhoods and significantly simplifying parenthood.
Our team is small but mighty, bringing together deep expertise, proven traction, and boundless ambition. At Recess, we cherish engineers who are more than just technical wizards—we value systems thinkers, empathetic collaborators, and relentless optimists who believe technology can profoundly improve daily lives.
This is your chance to shape the future of parenting and childhood experiences at a critical moment of growth and impact. If you’re ready to build something technically fascinating and profoundly human, come join us at Recess.
Come help us build the future of parenting. Together, let’s create brighter, simpler, and more joyful family experiences—one magical connection at a time.
