Business management

Enrollment, billing, attendance and staff - one record behind all of it.

The office, the classrooms and the families work from the same records. A check-in at the door becomes the room's attendance, the hours you bill and the numbers in your reports, without anyone copying it.

What is included

Everything the front office does in a week

Enrollment

Inquiries, tours, a waitlist and online enrollment forms families complete and sign before the first day - then classroom placement when a spot opens.

Families and children

Contacts, authorized and restricted pickups, schedules, allergies and documents on each child's record.

Client billing

Tuition, fees, discounts and subsidy agencies billed on schedule, with statements, autopay and accounts receivable aging.

Check-in and attendance

PIN check-in at the kiosk, classroom attendance in the staff app, ratios by room and daily and monthly attendance for the office.

Staff and time clock

Staff records, schedules and room assignments, and a time clock at the kiosk or in the staff app - with labor and coverage reports.

Health and compliance

Immunizations, medications and incident reports, with a licensing packet ready to print for a state visit.

Billing in ChildWatch: received, outstanding and accounts receivable aging
Client billing

Statements that add up, payments that post themselves

Set each family's charges once and ChildWatch bills them on schedule. Subsidy portions and discounts are applied before the statement goes out, and online payments from the family app post to the right account.

  • Weekly, monthly or hourly charges, and late fees if you use them
  • Subsidy agencies billed for their share, with recertification reminders
  • Online payments and autopay with ePay
  • QuickBooks Online connection for your bookkeeper
Daily attendance by classroom in ChildWatch
Attendance

Who is here, in every room, right now

Check-ins from the kiosk and the staff app land in one attendance record. The office sees each classroom's count, and a correction is made once - with a name and a time on every change.

  • Check-in and check-out times for hourly billing
  • Ratios by room, and staff scheduled against them
  • Every change logged with who made it and when

One center or many

Each person sees what their role allows

Owners, directors, office staff and teachers each get the pages they need. Run one center or several, each with its own classrooms, staff and settings, and see them together when you need to.

  • Role-based access for every staff member
  • Reports for your board, your accountant and the state - as PDF or spreadsheet
  • English and Spanish for staff and families
