01The Challenge

A childcare center with 30 children, manual enrollment, paper-based attendance, and no parent communication system. Billing was monthly and manual. The center couldn't expand without adding admin staff.

02The Solution

Built a childcare management platform with online enrollment, digital attendance, parent communication, automated billing, and AI-powered capacity planning that scaled to 120 children.

03The Outcome

Admin time dropped 70%, enrollment waitlist management became systematized, and the center grew 4x — all with the same admin team.

04What we built

We built a childcare management platform with online enrollment that managed waitlists, tours, and registration digitally. Digital attendance tracked check-in/check-out with parent verification. A parent communication system sent daily reports, photos, and developmental updates via app. Automated billing handled tuition, late fees, and subsidies. AI-powered capacity planning predicted enrollment trends and optimized staff-to-child ratios, and a compliance dashboard tracked certifications and inspections.
