For staff
Stay with the kids. The notebook keeps up.
- Check children in without a group text.
- Log a meal, nap, or diaper in a few taps.
- Record medication and injuries from what is already on file.
For licensed home daycare
Show parents their child's whole day.
Log meals, naps, diapers, and photos in a few taps. Parents get a calm timeline and one end-of-day email, instead of a running group text.
- Free for 2 children. No card to get started.
- $15/month when you grow to a full home license of 10.
- Parents and children never pay, and children never get an account.

How it works
A real care day, from both sides.
Staff log the moments. Parents see the same facts on a timeline and in one evening email.
Six screens from the staff app. Then switch tabs to see what parents get.

Your children
See who is in care before you open a timeline.
What staff log in Quick Log is what parents see. The evening email uses the same facts. Nothing is invented.
Who it is for
Two roles. One shared notebook.
For parents
Know the day without asking for a recap.
- A same-day timeline of parent-visible events.
- Push when something is logged, plus one evening email.
- Turn off alert types you do not want. Children never get an account.
Thoughtful by design
Private moments stay private.
- Photos stay private. Only invited parents of that child can open them.
- Parents join by invite and see only their own children.
- Staff can turn on an authenticator. Sensitive changes are written to an audit log.
- Export a child's history for licensing, or hide a child from the roster without deleting the record.
