About
CRAFTS was developed in Canada for Canadian Childcare Providers that operate Childcare Centers, Licensed Home Childcare Agencies, Before & After School Programs, Out of School Care, Montessori, and other forms of Early Childcare Education. Empower parents with a Parent Portal that allows them to see observations about their child, review billing and payments, attendance, and download tax receipts. Simplify the documentation procedures for your educators by giving them quick access to child details, online attendance, daily log and observation tracking, plus more. Administrators get simplified total insight over administrative processes for multiple locations from registration to financial management and reporting. Give Board Members access to reports in CRAFTS that allows them to review financial and enrollment details which allows them to better prepare for meetings.

About
CareCircle is daycare management software built with childcare operators to simplify enrollment and billing. Set up programs, sessions, capacity rules, and waitlists for each location, and let parents enroll online. Billing supports deposits, installments, autopay, invoices, refunds, and disputes, with payments going directly to the daycare’s own Stripe account. Families use a branded parent portal to manage children, contacts, enrollments, and payment methods. Operators can manage unlimited locations, programs, and staff, with permissions, audit trails, and email notifications. CareCircle also connects Claude or ChatGPT to help set up programs, look up families, and check availability. A free plan covers up to 20 children; above that, pricing is $2 per child per month. There are no setup fees or contracts.
