Features
Daily care, family communication, staff and front desk, and billing, in one app for iPhone, iPad and Android. Every feature is included for every center, with no add-ons.
Teachers log the day as it happens, and families see it right away.
Meals, snacks, bottles, naps, diapers, potty, health checks, art, music, circle time, STEM, field trips and more than 30 activity types in all.
Attach photos or videos to any activity. Photos stay sharp, and families can like and comment.
Record one activity for several children at once.
Log an incident and it's added to the child's behavior history. Keep each child's medications with dosage and instructions, and log every dose given.
Each child's day at a glance: photos, meals, naps and who's with them.
One notification at closing time summing up the day, like "4 photos · 2 meals · napped 1h 45m". Centers choose whether to turn it on.
On every child's profile, where the staff caring for them can see them.
Track each child's diapers, wipes, formula and spare clothes so families know what to bring.
Everything families hear from you, in one place, without group texts or paper notes.
Families and the child's current classroom staff share a group chat. When a child changes rooms, the chat follows.
A separate admin chat for each child, for conversations that don't belong in the classroom thread.
Send one message to every family in a classroom.
Pin announcements, menus and closures to a classroom or the whole center.
Each one names the child first and says what happened. Families can reply to a message or like a post from the lock screen.
Families choose how updates arrive. Messages, check-ins, incidents and medication always come through.
Families report an absence for a day or a date range, or tell you they're on the way, without calling the front desk.
Every photo of their child, grouped by month, ready to save or share.
Families tap the link in their invite, create a password and they're in.

Hours for any date range, ready for your payroll provider.
Set up benefits like paid time off, with accrual rates, and enroll each staff member.
When someone leaves, remove their access in one tap.

How billing works
Families are charged every Friday for the week ahead.
Charge a family for registration, field trips or supplies.
Collections, missed payments, upcoming charges and payouts, on your phone or iPad.
Payments land in your center's own account.
The setup and oversight tools owners and directors need.
Run several centers in one account and move children and staff between them.
Set up rooms and assign teachers.
Add a family, invite parents and approve new accounts from one place.
Owners, directors, assistant directors, teachers and families each see what their role allows.
Built for phones in the classroom and an iPad in the office.
A writing helper for messages, posts and activity notes. Tap for a few ways to start, or make what you wrote friendlier, shorter or clearer. Children's and parents' names are swapped out before anything leaves the app, and nothing goes to a family until you tap send.
Now in pilot with directors and owners.
