Why centers switch

One tool, built for childcare
not three you've stitched together.

Most centers we meet are paying for a website builder, wrestling paper enrollment forms, and renting a clunky CCMS. Kinderly replaces all three with software that actually understands how a childcare program runs.

Instead of
Wix Squarespace GoDaddy site

A website that speaks parent

Generic builders weren't made for tour requests, program pages, or enrollment. Kinderly Grow has childcare sections out of the box — and the inquiry form on your site goes straight to your family tracker. No Zapier, no copy-paste.

  • Pages tuned for daycare & preschools
  • Tour requests land in your pipeline automatically
  • Hosting and a free address included
Instead of
Paper packets Printed forms Email PDFs Chasing signatures

Enrollment that finishes itself

No more "did the Smiths bring back page 4?" Families fill out a guided packet on their phone — signatures, immunizations, allergies and all. You get a ping the moment it's complete.

  • No printing, scanning, or filing
  • State-audited forms, auto-filled
  • Families don't need an account or app
Instead of
Per-feature add-ons Year-long contracts Setup fees

Center management that won't fight you

Big-name CCMSes lock you into multi-year deals, charge for every module, and feel like software from 2006. Kinderly Manage is month-to-month, included in every plan, and built to feel calm — even on a Monday morning.

  • Included in every plan — no per-module fees
  • No long contracts, no setup fee
  • KinderConnect & subsidy reporting included

Centers typically replace 2 – 3 separate subscriptions when they move to Kinderly. Tell us what you're using — we'll show you the math.

Included on every plan

Every plan includes the whole suite

No tiers to decode, no modules to bolt on. Enroll, Grow, and Manage are all included — even on the free plan. Bigger plans simply raise the limits.
