Kindertales
Kindertales is childcare management software for coordinating operations, staff, devices, finances, and family-facing work in one system. It supports online registration and CRM workflows that can run from an initial inquiry and tour through waitlisting, application, registration, attendance, and graduation. Billing includes online invoices, recurring payment plans, card and direct-debit payments, subsidy and agency billing, and automatic tax receipts; kinderPAY processing is powered by Stripe. Providers can record developmental milestones using built-in or custom definitions, while attendance can use QR codes or facial recognition and produce historical or projected reports. Staff can message teachers and families from tablets, desktops, or mobile devices with customizable or preset templates. Reporting and analytics use Microsoft Power BI and can incorporate accounting, payroll, and other operational datasets. The service runs on web, Android, and iOS, with apps for both mobile platforms. Pricing is paid and available on request.
