Kidsoft

Kidsoft is paid, cloud-based childcare management software for Australian early learning, kindergarten, preschool, outside-school-hours care, and vacation-care services. It combines enrolments, Child Care Subsidy administration, attendance, billing, and family communication. Enrol supports online registrations, waitlists, automated offers, and demand dashboards. The OSHC module handles room-specific booking rules, routine and casual bookings, promotional codes, bulk discounts, and activity surcharges. Parents can use a portal to manage bookings, documents, payments, absences, and schedule changes from mobile devices. Konnect adds incident reporting, medical and emergency records, electronic sign-in and sign-out, and live classroom-ratio updates. DebitPro supplies payment updates and reporting. Kidsoft lists integrations, public APIs, encryption, access controls, Australian data archiving, backups, and 24/7/365 availability.
