Parent Dashboard for Daycare and Preschool
Everything a parent asks for, already on their screen.
Today’s report, this week’s photos, the invoice, the form that needs signing and the message from the room — one dashboard per family, every child in it, no front-desk request needed.
- ● Free forever up to 5 children
- ● Every child in one household view
- ● Pay, sign and read in one place
One screen instead of four different asks
Most front-desk interruptions are a parent looking for something that already exists somewhere. The dashboard is where all of it already is.
The day as it happens
Meals, naps, potty, medication, activities and notes appear as the teacher logs them, so a parent at work can see the morning without waiting for a sheet at pick-up.
Photos from the room
A photo taken during an activity lands on that child’s day. Families get the moment on the day it happened rather than in a monthly newsletter.
Invoices and payment
Current and upcoming invoices, payment methods, autopay and statements sit in the same app, so a billing question does not need an email to the office.
Forms to sign and documents to upload
Permission slips, policy agreements and medication authorizations arrive as fillable, signable PDFs, and requested documents are uploaded from the same place.
Chat with the room
Two-way messaging with delivery confirmation, plus newsletters and app notifications, rather than a personal phone number and a group text.
Every child in the household
Siblings appear in one dashboard instead of one login per child, and both guardians can be on the account.
What is coming up
Newsletters, calendar items and notifications arrive in the same place as everything else, so nothing depends on a note in a bag.
Consent handled properly
Photo release, SMS consent and policy agreements are captured as required checkboxes and signed documents, with a record of who agreed and when.
Nothing to install for the center
The dashboard is part of the platform staff already use. There is no second system to buy, connect or keep in sync.
Invited once, then it just works
There is no rollout project. Enrolled families are already in the system.
Guardians come from the registration form
The parents and extra guardians a family entered when they registered become the people who can access the dashboard.
They open the app
The daily report, photos and messages start appearing as staff log them. Nothing needs to be forwarded or exported.
Billing and forms follow
Invoices, autopay and any document that needs signing arrive in the same place, so families stop emailing the office for copies.
What a family does instead of asking at the door
Every one of these is a conversation staff have several times a week.

A parent app is a retention tool
Families do not usually leave over the program. They leave when they feel out of the loop.
Fewer interruptions at the door
Pick-up stops being a queue of questions, because the answers were already read during the day.
Billing gets paid faster
An invoice a parent can see and pay in the app they already open beats one sitting in an inbox next to everything else.
Enrollment tours have proof
Showing a prospective family what they will actually see every day is a stronger answer than describing your communication policy.
About the parent dashboard
What is a parent dashboard in childcare software?
The view a family gets in the app: their child's day as staff log it, photos, messages from the room, newsletters, invoices and payment methods, and any forms or documents they need to sign or upload — for every child in the household in one place.
Do parents see the day live, or only at the end?
As it happens. Each entry appears in the app the moment it is saved, so a parent does not wait for an end-of-day summary.
Can both parents have access?
Yes. Guardians are captured when the family registers, and a parent can add extra guardians on the registration form.
Can families pay from the dashboard?
Yes. Invoices, payment methods, autopay and statements are part of the same app rather than a separate billing portal.
Can we send documents for signature through it?
Yes. Policy agreements, photo releases, medication authorizations and permission slips are sent as fillable, e-signable PDFs and file themselves to the child's record once signed.
What about families with more than one child?
All the children in a household appear in one dashboard rather than a separate login for each.
Is it a separate product we have to buy?
No. The parent dashboard is part of the platform staff already use, so there is nothing extra to connect or keep in sync.
Is there a free version?
Yes. MyKidReports is free forever for up to five children, and the parent app is included.
