Staff · Schedules · Shifts

A team that stays — because the systems work.

Staff scheduling for childcare directors — build the weekly schedule one shift at a time, pick the room, the schedule type, the start and end time, and add a note. Your team sees their shifts in the MyKidReports staff app. Hours flow into the Staff report alongside the rest of your operations data.

  • Schedule a shift per staff member per day — room, start/end, and notes per shift
  • Total scheduled hours visible per day — helps you stay within coverage and budget
  • Staff see their own shifts in the staff app; hours feed the Staff report alongside attendance

Director questions

What directors ask before they switch.

Honest answers to the questions directors ask us most.

What does a daycare director see when they log in?+

The Setup Score dashboard with nine module tiles — Students & Enrollment, Attendance, Billing, Communication, Operations, Action Center, Website, Marketing, and Learning — plus enrollment trend, attendance rate, and staff coverage charts. Click any tile to drill into the detail.

Can MyKidReports help with state licensing audits?+

Yes. Attendance records, wellness screenings, forms, student information, and staff records are exportable as PDF or CSV through the 11 built-in report categories. Pull what licensing asks for, in two clicks, straight from the page. See reports ›

Will my staff actually use it?+

The teacher view is intentionally simple — check kids in and out, log meals and naps, post photos and daily updates to parents. Onboarding is included on every plan. See the teacher app ›

Does it replace my current billing software?+

For most directors, yes. Auto-generated invoices, Auto-Pay (card or ACH), discount and subsidy splits, and aging-balance reporting run inside MyKidReports — same login as the rest of your operations. See billing ›

How much does MyKidReports cost?+

Free for up to 5 enrolled children. $0.99 per enrolled child per month for groups under 100 children. Custom pricing at 100+ children — talk to our team. Every module included on every plan — no per-feature charges, no setup fees, no contracts.

Can a director see the whole center from one screen?+

Yes. The MyKidReports dashboard rolls up enrollment, attendance, billing, communication, operations, and learning across nine module tiles on one page. Each tile shows current status and the actions waiting on you.

Is parent and child data secure?+

Yes. MyKidReports is COPPA and FERPA aware with bank-grade encryption at rest and in transit. Role-based access means staff see only what they need, directors see the whole center, and parents access only their own child’s data. Full Trust & Safety details ›

How do I get started?+

Create your free account, add up to 5 children, and try the platform with zero commitment. When you’re ready to bring on all your enrolled children, our onboarding team helps you import child and family records and train your team — included on every plan. See support & onboarding ›

Run the day. Not just survive it.

Free for up to 5 enrolled children, then $0.99 per child per month. Every module included on every plan.
