KiddoDeskScheduling made simple for childcare
The childcare app where kids check themselves in. Attendance, daily logs, parent updates, and invoicing for babysitters, daycares, and party childcare — done in taps, not paperwork.
No credit card for the trial · then $0.99/child/month, everything included
✅ Walk-up check-in
Kiosk PIN, family QR cards, rotating venue QR for any phone, NFC tags on Android — and presence detection that greets returning families by name before they touch the screen.
🍽️ One-tap day board
Stations for meals, naps (auto-duration), diapers, potty, meds, activities, moods, incidents with body maps, photos. Smart time chips: now / 5m / 15m / 1h ago / custom.
📱 Parent portal + push
Parents see their child's whole day on a date-scrollable timeline, get push the second their kid checks in, message you two-way, and view every invoice.
💳 Billing that runs itself
Per-child invoices generated weekly or monthly with start–end times on every line, sibling discounts, late fees, online card/ACH payment via Stripe, year-end tax statements.
📚 Accounting sync
Invoices and payments push automatically to QuickBooks Online AND Zoho Books — the only childcare tool with native Zoho support.
🎉 Party & event mode
Birthday parties and drop-in events: roster batch check-in, guest kids with allergies + pickup person, flat per-kid rates, one-click invoicing. Nobody else has this.
📅 Calendar with Hebrew dates
Every day shows its Hebrew date; Yom Tov (diaspora two-day), fasts, Chanukah, and Purim appear automatically with one-click closures — parents get an email reminder 2 days before every closure.
🧑🏫 Staff & compliance
Staff clock-in/timesheets, live kids:staff ratio alerts, immunization tracking with overdue flags, pickup signatures, full audit log.
