Everything a small center needs. Nothing it doesn't.

We talked to dozens of center owners and built only the tools they actually use every day.

Applications & waitlist

A custom application form, smart sibling matching, and a waitlist that knows your room ages and capacity.

Attendance & hours

Drop-off, pick-up and school check-ins in seconds. Daily and monthly hours roll up for billing automatically.

Invoicing & payments

Generate monthly invoices, track unpaid balances and send polite reminders without lifting a finger.

Parent portal

Parents see their child, attendance, invoices, documents and messages in one clean view.

Rooms & transitions

Visual capacity, age-based placement, and gentle nudges when a child is ready to move up.

Tours & info packs

Beautiful info packs for prospective families and tour scheduling that respects your hours.

"We replaced four tools and a whiteboard with Childcare Buddy. Mornings are calmer, and invoicing went from a Sunday job to a 10-minute click-through."
