✻ The honest part ✻
You didn't open a center to do paperwork.
But somehow that's where the week goes. Below are the four things we hear, almost word-for-word, every time we sit down with an owner or director — and the small change Kinderly makes to each one.
01
"I spent my whole Sunday printing enrollment packets again."
What it feels like
Paper packets that nobody finishes
You print 14 pages, three families lose one, two forget to sign the immunization page, and you spend Monday re-typing everything into your computer.
With Kinderly
Send a guided digital packet from your phone. Families finish it on theirs — usually before they've finished their coffee.

02
"I know I had a tour request from somebody. I just can't find it."
What it feels like
Inquiries scattered across five places
A tour gets requested on Facebook. Another by email. Another at pickup. Half of them never get a callback because nobody can remember who asked.
With Kinderly
Every inquiry — wherever it came from — lands on one simple board. You can see who's next, who's gone quiet, and what to do about it.
Kinderly Grow How Grow works →
03
"By the time I notice the toddler room is out of ratio, it's already happened."
What it feels like
A different app for every part of your day
Attendance is in one app, the ratio board is on paper, parent messages are in a fourth, schedules are in a Google Sheet. Nothing talks to anything else.
With Kinderly
Attendance, ratios, schedules, messaging, and reporting — one screen for you, one app for your teachers. Out-of-ratio gets caught before it happens.
Kinderly Manage How Manage works →
04
"Every Friday is the same three reminder calls about tuition."
What it feels like
Tuition you have to chase
You write invoices by hand, take checks at pickup, log them in a spreadsheet, and still spend Friday calling the same three families about last month.
With Kinderly
Invoices generate themselves from your program fees. Families pay from the parent app. The awkward Friday call list gets a lot shorter.
Manage Billing How Billing works →
✻ Tuesday, 6:45 to 5:30 ✻

✻ Why people switch ✻
Built for the person opening the door at six.
Most childcare software was built like you'd have an IT department to set it up. You don't. We didn't build ours that way either.
Kinderly is made for owners, directors, lead teachers — the actual humans running the place. Six things they tell us made the switch worth it:
- 01
Plain English, all the way through.
No "modules" to configure, no jargon to decode. The first time you open Kinderly, the next thing you do is obvious. If you can use your phone, you can run your center on it.
- 02
Live before the week ends.
Our team moves your families, programs, and enrollment forms across for you — for free. Most centers are taking real attendance within a few days.
- 03
One login. Director, teacher, parent.
We make the director portal, the teacher app, and the parent app. They all talk to each other because they're the same system — not three vendors duct-taped together.
- 04
Support that actually picks up.
A real person, usually within the hour. We'll help you build your enrollment packets, set up your tuition rates, and get your website live. No tickets queued for next Tuesday.
- 05
Children's data, protected.
COPPA & FERPA aligned. AES-256 encryption. No ads, ever — your families are not the product, and we'll never sell their information.
- 06
Pricing you can read in one sentence.
One per-child rate. No setup fees, no per-feature upcharges, no surprise renewals. See pricing →

Common questions
Is Kinderly designed for non-technical staff?
Yes. We built Kinderly for childcare directors and administrators — not engineers. There's nothing to install, no code, and our team will help you get set up.
Will Kinderly work alongside our current CCMS?
Yes. Enroll and Grow integrate with any CCMS through our automation actions and webhooks. Manage is our own CCMS for centers that want everything in one place.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan covers a single user and basic enrollment. Pro ($15/seat/month) unlocks more shares, more forms, multiple boards, and the Manage add-on.
Is family data secure?
All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We're built with COPPA and FERPA in mind, never sell data, and never run ads.
