The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the traditional education system, forcing parents to seek alternative methods of schooling for their children. The Parent Teacher Network (PTN) was created to address this challenge, providing a platform for parents to connect with other families in their area and form learning pods or co-ops. However, the founder of PTN, Elise Moore, faced a significant hurdle in the development of the platform. As a musician and audio engineer with no experience in building web apps, she needed a cost-effective solution that did not require coding expertise.

The Parent Teacher Network is a social networking platform designed to support parents seeking educational alternatives during the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform allows parents to connect with other families in their area, forming learning pods or co-ops for their children. The platform is particularly useful for parents who are struggling to balance work and childcare responsibilities during the pandemic. The platform's users are primarily based in the United States, but its reach is expanding as more parents seek alternative schooling solutions.

Moore turned to Bubble, a leader in the no-code movement, to build the Parent Teacher Network. Bubble offers a powerful point-and-click web editor and cloud hosting platform that allows users to build fully customizable web applications and workflows. With the help of Bubble builders Sergey Shpa and Pargev Kocharyan, Moore was able to create a social networking tool that allows parents to find other families in their area to create pod schools, learning co-ops, and provide childcare support during the pandemic. Users can create a profile for their family, filter search results based on family details, primary language, schools, and schooling interests, and message each other in the app to share contact info and make plans.

The Parent Teacher Network has been successful in providing a much-needed solution for parents during the pandemic. The platform has been used as intended by users across the U.S., helping parents connect with other families in their area and form learning pods or co-ops. The platform's success has also opened up possibilities for future development. As the schooling situation continues to evolve in the United States, the team behind the Parent Teacher Network plans to provide additional resources to support users. They also have plans to transition the site for another purpose once the pandemic ends.
The Parent Teacher Network was built and launched for desktop and mobile in a little over a month.
Two weeks from launch, the platform has users across the U.S.
Bubble, the platform used to build the Parent Teacher Network, has over 400,000 users and has helped businesses raise $365M in venture funding.
