Who it's for

Built for the way you actually work

Home daycare is one person juggling care, parents, paperwork, and a licensing inspector who might knock tomorrow. DaycareFlow fits that reality.

You care for 4 to 8 children

From your own home. Maybe with your own kids in the mix. You know each family personally and want the tool to feel that way too.

You run the whole show

Care, snacks, naps, parent comms, invoices, the licensing binder — all of it. No admin team, no front desk, no IT.

Your time is the actual constraint

You don't need a 50-feature platform built for chains. You need the few things that save real minutes every day.

What you get

Everything a solo provider needs, nothing else

Each one shaped around how home daycare actually runs, day to day.

Children & families

A profile per child — parents, contacts, allergies, medication, and notes — all in one place.

  • Up to 3 parents or guardians per child
  • Allergies, medication schedule, and free-form notes
  • Archive when a child moves on — restore anytime

Check-in / check-out

Tap each child in and out. Every arrival and pickup is timestamped automatically.

  • One-tap check-in / check-out per child
  • A live “who’s here right now” board on your dashboard
  • Records whether a parent or you closed the day

Daily care reminders

Set what each child needs and when — medication, meals, naps — and get a nudge at the right time.

  • Per-child schedule: medication, food, activities
  • An on-screen alert the moment something’s due
  • Mark each one done or skipped — tracked for the day

Calendar of your hours

See every child’s hours in your care, like a shared calendar built from real check-ins.

  • Week, month, and year views
  • Filter by child to focus on one family
  • Totals: hours, days present, longest day

Billing without awkward conversations

Know who owes what at a glance, and record payments as they come in — no more bringing it up at pickup.

  • Per-child rates: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or custom
  • Record cash, Zelle, Venmo, check, or card payments
  • Balances and who’s behind, for any date range

Parents stay in the loop — no app

Share a short code. Parents sign in and see their child’s info — read-only, nothing to install.

  • No app downloads or accounts to manage
  • One code works for both parents
  • They see profile, attendance, and billing; only you edit

Questions

Frequently asked

Who is DaycareFlow for?
Solo home daycare providers in the US caring for 4 to 8 children. It's intentionally not built for large centers or multi-classroom programs — the features and pricing don't try to be everything to everyone.
Do parents need to download an app?
No. You share a short code; each parent signs in once and sees their child's profile, attendance, and billing — read-only, nothing to install.
What can I do with DaycareFlow?
Keep a profile per child and family, check children in and out, set daily care reminders, view everyone's hours on a calendar, and track billing and payments. Your parents get read-only access with a code.
Is my children's data safe?
Your data is encrypted at rest, and you can archive or permanently delete any child's records at any time. We never sell data.
How do I get started?
Sign in with Google, choose your role, and you're in the dashboard. Adding your first child takes about two minutes. Cancel or delete anything later — no commitment.
