About Petit Portail
Petit Portail is all-in-one childcare management software built for daycares, CPEs and home-based childcare providers (RSGE) in Quebec, Canada. It replaces spreadsheets and paperwork with one connected system: attendance check-in/out, billing and invoicing (including subsidized PCR rates), payroll, educator-to-child ratio tracking, child records with medical and allergy details, daily reports, photos, parent messaging, and electronic document signing. Petit Portail produces RL-24 tax receipts certified by Revenu Québec and is built for Quebec compliance (Loi 25 privacy and MFA ratios). Parents and educators get native iOS and Android apps; administrators use a full web dashboard. Bilingual (French/English), with fixed monthly pricing — no per-child fees, no contract — and human support in French and English. Designed in Quebec, for the Quebec childcare network.

MyLittleWorld
MyLittleWorld is the easiest way for a daycare, home childcare, or preschool to get off paper and spreadsheets without paying enterprise prices. It replaces the clipboard, the WhatsApp group, and the separate invoicing tool with one platform: QR kiosk check-in with pickup-authorization checks, daily reports with photos and voice-to-text, incident reports guardians see instantly, tuition plans with invoicing and late-fee tracking, staff scheduling, payroll and certification tracking, parent messaging, and an enrollment pipeline with public sign-up forms.
Unlike the big childcare platforms built for 150-child franchises, MyLittleWorld is priced and designed for centres with 12 to 120 kids — $29 to $129 a month, 14-day free trial, price-lock guarantee. It's built in Montreal, works in English and French, and gives every family free parent access.
We built it after Brightwheel priced out the daycares on our own street.

Seedling
Seedling is web-based childcare management software for independent childcare centers, preschools, home daycares, and other early-childhood programs. It helps providers manage child and staff rosters, check-in and check-out, classroom ratios, tuition plans and online payments, enrollment agreements, and family communications. Families access a secure portal through a link in their email rather than downloading a parent app. The system also supports photo and daily activity updates, health and immunization records, allergy and medication logs, staff credentials, safety-drill records, licensing reports, and enrollment inquiries. Centers can create a public website and organize family and compliance information in one service.
