About 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.

MyKidReports
MyKidReports is all-in-one childcare management software for daycares, preschools and after-school programs.
Billing and autopay, digital check-in, attendance and live room ratios, admissions from first inquiry through waitlist to enrollment, parent messaging and daily reports, immunization and state paperwork, CACFP food program records, and staff scheduling.
What makes it different: your center's public website, inquiry forms and enrollment pipeline are built into the same platform. A family who finds you online lands on a real page with a working inquiry form, and that inquiry becomes a waitlist entry instead of a lost email. Most childcare platforms stop at the parent app and leave the website to a separate tool.
Switching is done for you. Our team migrates children, families, billing history and attendance from your current system at no extra cost.
Free forever up to 5 children, then $0.99 per child per month. No setup fees, no contracts.

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.
