How activity tracking works

One tap in the room. Everything else happens by itself

Nothing is written twice. The tap that records a meal is the same tap that tells the parent, fills the daily report and feeds the month’s reporting.

Recorded where it happens

A teacher logs the activity from the room on a phone or tablet, for one child or the whole group at once. No clipboard, no evening catch-up, no transcribing at the front desk.

The parent sees it now

The entry appears in the parent app the moment it is saved, with the photo if there is one. Families stop asking how the day went because they have been watching it.

It becomes the daily report

Every activity for the day is already the report. Nobody assembles it, and nothing gets left out because the room got busy at four.

What you can log

The whole day, in the categories you use

Fourteen ready-made activity types, and you can build your own with the fields your rooms actually need.

Meals and bottles

Meal type, what was offered and how much was eaten — all, most, some or none. Feeds the CACFP food program record at the same time.

Naps and diapers

Start and end of sleep, diaper and potty entries with time and detail, so a pattern is visible across the week rather than remembered.

Medication and health

Medication given with dose and time, health checks, and incident or boo-boo reports that go on the record and to the parent.

Photos and notes

A photo, a line of what happened, or both. Send to one family or the whole room.

Observations and milestones

Learning observations recorded against your own domains and milestone lists, so progress builds up instead of being written at report time.

Your own activity types

Build a type with the fields your rooms need — a water-play log, a reading minute counter, anything you already track on paper.

Getting started

Three steps, and the clipboards go away

1

Turn on the types you use

Keep the ready-made ones that fit, hide the ones that do not, and add your own. Each room can have a different set.

2

Teachers log from the room

Open the room, tap the activity, pick the children it applies to. Logging lunch for a whole table takes one entry.

3

Parents watch the day arrive

Entries appear in the app as they happen and roll up into the daily report. You do nothing at the end of the day.

Paper vs software

What changes when activity tracking stops being paper

Most centers already record all of this. The question is what it costs to record it, and who ever sees it again.

Questions we get

About activity tracking

What is childcare activity tracking software?

Software that records what happens to a child during the day — meals, naps, diapers, medication, activities, photos and observations — at the moment it happens, and keeps it on that child’s record. It replaces the paper daily sheet, and because the entries are already stored the daily report, the food program record and the progress notes build themselves.

How do I keep track of children’s activities in a daycare?

Log them in the room rather than at the desk. A teacher opens the room on a phone or tablet, taps the activity type, and picks the children it applies to — one entry can cover a whole table at lunch. Everything is timestamped and attributed, so nothing depends on remembering it later.

Is there children’s activity management software that also handles enrollment and billing?

Yes — activity tracking in MyKidReports is one part of the same system that holds enrollment, attendance, ratios, tuition billing and parent messaging. The child you enrolled is the child the teacher logs lunch for, and the same record produces the invoice. Nothing is synced between tools because there is only one tool.

Can parents see activities in real time?

Yes. An entry appears in the parent app as soon as it is saved, with the photo attached if there is one. You can also keep an entry staff-only when it is not something to send.

Can we make our own activity types?

Yes. The ready-made types cover the usual day, and you can build unlimited custom ones with the fields your rooms need. Each room can use a different set.

Does activity tracking work offline in the classroom?

Entries are made in the browser or the app on a normal internet connection. If your rooms have patchy coverage, log from a spot with signal or catch up when it returns — the timestamp records when the activity happened, not when it was typed.

Does this cover the food program?

Meal entries feed the CACFP food program records, so what a teacher logs at lunch is what the claim is built from. No second set of sheets.

How much does it cost?

Free forever for up to 5 children, then $0.99 per child per month with no setup fee, no contract and no minimum. Activity tracking is included on every plan, not sold as an add-on.
