For child care centers and preschools

Run the whole center from one place - office, classrooms and families.

Enrollment, check-in, attendance, billing and staff in one system that talks to itself, and an app that keeps families close. One center or many.

Everything a director does

Less paperwork, fewer phone calls, cleaner books

Enrollment

Inquiries, tours and a waitlist, and enrollment forms families complete and sign online - straight into the child's record.

Kiosk check-in and attendance

Families check children in and out at a tablet with a PIN. Classrooms see who is here; the office sees ratios and hours.

Client billing and autopay

Set your billing rules once and invoices go out on schedule by themselves - tuition, fees, subsidies and discounts. Statements that add up, past-due balances aged and followed up, and online payments and autopay from the family app.

Staff and time clock

Staff records, classrooms and schedules, a time clock at the kiosk or in the staff app, and the staff app for the day's attendance and notes.

Families stay informed

The child's day, photos, messages and statements in the family app - messages translated into the family's language.

Reports and compliance

Attendance, enrollment, financial and labor reports, immunizations and a licensing packet for state visits.

Daily attendance by classroom in ChildWatch
One record, many uses

Check-in once - attendance and billing follow

When a family checks a child in at the kiosk, that same record drives classroom attendance, hourly billing and your reports. Your staff stop copying numbers between systems.

  • Each person sees only what their role allows
  • Every change logged with who made it and when
  • English and Spanish for staff and families

Billing in ChildWatch across a center's families
Multi-site groups

Several centers, one ChildWatch

Each center keeps its own classrooms, staff, rates and settings, and the owner or regional director sees them side by side - occupancy, attendance and what is owed.

  • Sites grouped by region when you grow
  • Look at one site, or all sites at once
  • Each person sees only the sites their role allows
Your choice

On the food program? Add it. Not on it? Leave it off.

The CACFP food program is an optional part of ChildWatch. If your center takes part, meal counts come from the same attendance and the claim is checked before you file - for an independent center or one under a sponsor.
