Daycare management software for a single site
Small licensed centers need rooms, ratios, enrollment, and billing that does not punish growth. Ashby is childcare software you can stand up yourself — live in minutes, not a long onboarding.
One location, full operations
Rooms with capacity, waitlist to enroll, ratio awareness, tuition plans with ACH, and a parent app families will actually open. Subsidy and CACFP reconciliation are first-class — not a spreadsheet afterthought.
Center operations
From the morning tablet to month-end AR — product areas directors care about.
Attendance & check-in
Staff- or guardian-mediated check-in with signatures, authorized pickup, and late pickup that feeds billing.
Roster & child records
Child and guardian profiles, emergency contacts, allergies, and authorized pickup lists — built for privacy.
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.
Subsidy & CACFP
CCAP and food-program reconciliation — the workflow most incumbents leave as manual spreadsheet work.
Compliance & ratios
Ratio alerts, licensing records, and audit-ready reports — compliance as product, not a manual export.
Staff timeclock & scheduling
Timeclock, timesheets, and scheduling. Payroll via an embedded provider — Ashby does not run payroll ourselves.
Start now — be live in 5 minutes
Ashby is built for small US centers and in-home daycares. Open an account, set up your rooms, and run the day — without a long onboarding project.
