In their own words
MyKidReports
MyKidReports is childcare management software for home providers, centers, alliances, and multi-site programs. It brings enrollment, family communication, attendance, check-in, billing, lesson planning, and reporting together, with role-specific views for parents, teachers and staff, and admins and owners. The service runs on the web and has iOS and Android apps included at no charge with every plan. MKR Lite is free forever for up to five children and includes one staff account, one room, parent messaging, daily activities, check-in, attendance reports, and family profiles. Billing and payments are on Pro, which costs $0.99 per child per month, priced in tiers of 10 children. Pro covers 1 to 100 children, allows unlimited staff, and has a 14-day free trial with no credit card required; cancellation is anytime. Pro and Enterprise include per-module staff permissions. MyKidReports says it uses role-based access, end-to-end encryption, AWS infrastructure, and data backups. Training and onboarding are included at no additional cost. Enterprise offers custom pricing for centers with 100 or more children and multi-center groups.
