A closer look at what you get with DaycareSuite, built for childcare from day one.
Home, Programs, About, Contact and Blog pages you edit with live preview. Three themes, your colors, your photos.
A warm inquiry form on your site that lands in your dashboard lead inbox and emails you instantly. Built-in spam filtering quietly drops bot submissions, so every lead you see is a real parent and no junk mail goes out in your name.
Children, parents, contacts, enrollment details and document uploads, organized and always at hand. No child limits. When families change, a child moves to another family with their history intact.
Recurring tuition posts itself: automatic late fees, reminders the day before payment is due. Online card payment is optional, log checks, Zelle, or cash by hand and the ledger stays just as clean.
Time-stamped attendance with hours-in-care and automatic late-pickup fees, with per-child thresholds for negotiated longer days. A door-tablet mode gives parents a big tap-to-check-in screen, no login on the device. Missed a tap? Type the time in, and if the pickup was late you confirm before anything is billed. Any posted fee can be waived or adjusted before it is paid.
Balances, full activity history, daily reports, and two-way messaging, on the parent's phone. Parents add a card themselves through Stripe, so you never see a card number. If your policy is that every family keeps one on file, you can require it before a parent finishes setting up their portal, and waive it for any family whose card is failing so nobody is locked out of their child's information.
Meals, naps, diapers, activities, mood, and photos, tapped in during the day and sent at pickup. Each family sees only their own child, by email and in the portal.
Closures, menus, and events parents check in the portal: the paper calendar on the door, replaced. Send the month to every family with one tap, or notify parents about a single entry.
One-tap safe-sleep logging with position, time, and staff initials, plus an inspection-ready export. Defaults follow California's 15-minute documented checks; every rule is configurable to your state's requirements.
Every email the platform sends is a template you can rewrite in your own voice.
