Features

Everything your daycare needs, in one platform

Attendance, billing, daily reports, and family messaging — built for childcare and priced as one flat rate, with no feature gates.

Attendance & QR check-in

Fast, accurate drop-off and pick-up with a clear record of who was in care and when.

  • Scan a QR code at the door, or check children in manually
  • Timestamps and current status for every child
  • Parents see check-in and check-out the moment it happens

Tuition billing & autopay

Recurring tuition collected automatically through Stripe — no invoices to chase.

  • Parents add a card once and tuition runs on schedule
  • Optional add-ons parents approve and pay in-app
  • Payment history, receipts, and year-end tax statements

Daily reports

Teachers log the day as it happens so families never miss a moment.

  • Meals, naps, activities, and learning notes
  • Classroom photos, shared only with consent
  • Delivered to parents in real time

Messaging

Direct, private threads between families and their child's classroom.

  • No personal phone numbers shared
  • Push notifications keep everyone in the loop
  • Everything stays inside CapyKids

Parent mobile app

A free app for iOS and Android that puts the whole day in a parent's pocket.

  • One login for every child in the household
  • Attendance, reports, billing, and messages in one place
  • Also available in any browser

Staff & classrooms

Set up rooms, assign teachers, and give everyone the right level of access.

  • Invite teachers and admins by email
  • Roles scope what each person can see
  • Organize children by classroom or cohort

Holiday calendar

Keep attendance expectations and scheduling accurate for staff and families.

  • Mark the days your center is closed
  • Shared across staff and parents

Privacy by default

Family data is protected at every layer, and parents stay in control.

  • Photo sharing requires explicit parent consent
  • Each daycare's data is isolated from every other
  • Accounts are created by your center, never public sign-up
