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, billed only per active child, and built to feel calm — even on a Monday morning.

  • Pay only for active children
  • 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.

Pricing questions

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

No. The Free plan requires no credit card — just sign up and start building enrollment forms and packets right away.

What counts as a seat?

A seat is one administrator who logs into Kinderly — directors, office managers, etc.

Manage is a metered add-on at $0.85 per active child per month, layered on top of a Pro plan. Manage Billing adds another $0.20 per child per month.

Can I change plans at any time?

Never. Each family accesses their enrollment packet through a secure, PIN-protected share link — no login, no app install required.
