Daycare management software for operators
Run check-in, keep parents informed, collect tuition, and stay on ratios — without juggling five tools. Ashby is daycare management software built for small US programs you can stand up in minutes.
Core daycare operations
Attendance & check-in
Staff- or guardian-mediated check-in with signatures, authorized pickup, and late pickup that feeds billing.
Daily & incident reports
Naps, meals, diapers, activities, and mood — bulk entry for a whole room, plus structured incident reports.
Rooms, waitlist & enrollment
Rooms with capacity, waitlist position, and inquiry-to-enroll. Rooms collapse entirely for in-home providers.
Parent app
Phone-first parent PWA: today at a glance, daily reports, photos, payments, and multi-child switching.
Billing & tuition
Stripe Connect, tuition plans, ACH and card, invoicing, autopay, dunning, statements, and year-end tax docs.
Compliance & ratios
Ratio alerts, licensing records, and audit-ready reports — compliance as product, not a manual export.
