How it works

Connect once. Post for a year.

Three steps inside the Marketing module — Add Socials, Create, Schedule — and your month of content posts itself.

1

Add your socials

From Marketing, click Add Socials and link the accounts your center posts from. Each connected platform appears in the Platform Statuses panel on the right.

2

Create your post (or let AI draft it)

Click + Create, upload your photo or video, and either write your caption or let SparkPost's AI draft it for you. Save as a Draft or schedule it for a specific date.

3

Post auto-publishes

On the date you picked, SparkPost publishes to every connected platform. The monthly calendar shows what went out and when; the Platform Statuses panel shows which channels succeeded.

What's included

Everything you need to post consistently — built into MyKidReports.

SparkPost is a sub-module of MyKidReports — same login, same dashboard, same team as the rest of your center operations. No extra subscription, no separate learning curve.

Monthly calendar view

Every post — drafted, scheduled, or published — on one calendar. See your whole month at a glance, catch gaps before they happen, and plan a steady posting rhythm.

Drafts → Scheduled → All posts

Three tabs, one workflow. Start something in Drafts, lock the date in Scheduled, and review everything under All posts. Your quarter of content, clearly filed.

Multi-platform publishing

Write once, publish to every connected social channel. Add as many social accounts as your center uses — SparkPost pushes the post out on the date you scheduled.

Platform status panel

See every connected platform and the state of every post on the right-side Platform Statuses panel. If something failed or is pending, you see it immediately — not after a parent asks why the post didn't go up.

AI-drafted posts

Stuck on what to write? Describe the moment — "spring art in the toddler room" — and SparkPost drafts a post with a caption for you. Edit, approve, schedule. Done in under a minute.

Right in your sidebar

Marketing sits in the MyKidReports sidebar alongside childcare billing, attendance, and admissions. Same login, same team, same dashboard — no new tab, no context-switching, no extra tool to train staff on.

Frequently asked

Everything directors ask about MyKidReports Marketing.

What is MyKidReports Marketing (SparkPost)?

SparkPost is the marketing module inside MyKidReports — a social media scheduler built specifically for daycares and preschools. You connect your center's social accounts, create and schedule posts in advance, and see every post (drafts, scheduled, and published) on one monthly calendar. It lives alongside your billing, attendance, and parent communications, so there's no separate tool to learn or pay for.

Which social media platforms can I connect?

From Marketing, click Add Socials to connect the social accounts your center posts from. Each connected platform appears in the Platform Statuses panel so you always know which channels are live.

How do I schedule a post?

Click + Create from the Marketing dashboard. Add your photo or video, write the caption (or let AI draft it for you), pick a date on the calendar, and save as a Draft or schedule it directly. On the date you picked, SparkPost publishes the post to every connected platform automatically.

Can SparkPost write the post for me with AI?

Yes. When you click + Create, you can describe the moment in a sentence — "spring art projects in the toddler room," "this week's field trip to the pumpkin patch" — and SparkPost drafts a caption for you. Edit as much or as little as you want, then schedule. It's built for directors who know their school but don't have time to write marketing copy from scratch.

What's the difference between Drafts, Scheduled, and All posts?

Drafts are posts you're still working on — saved, but not yet queued. Scheduled posts are locked in and ready to publish on a future date. All posts shows everything in one view: drafts, scheduled, and published, visible on the monthly calendar so you can see your whole month of content at a glance.

Can I see which posts went out on which platforms?

Yes. The Platform Statuses panel on the right side of the Marketing dashboard shows each connected platform and the state of each post — so if something failed to publish or is still pending, you see it immediately.

Where does Marketing live inside MyKidReports?

Marketing is in your MyKidReports sidebar, alongside Billing, Attendance, Admissions, and Communications. Same login, same team, same dashboard — you don't need a separate tab or a second tool to post.

Do I still need Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later?

Most daycare directors don't. SparkPost covers the core jobs generic scheduling tools do — draft, schedule across multiple platforms, see a monthly calendar, track publishing status — and because it's inside MyKidReports, it shares the same login as the rest of your center operations. AI caption writing is tuned for childcare content, so you're not spending ten minutes re-editing generic marketing copy every post.

Your month of posts, planned in one sitting.

Connect your socials, open the calendar, fill it with 30 days of your center's story — and get back to running the school.
