A daycare commits its costs by the day and collects its income by the child. Holding both sides of that in a paper register works until it does not.
What the app is built around
The child, the day and the fee. Attendance is recorded daily, fees are tracked against each family, and the two together produce your real occupancy and your real cost per attending child.
What it helps you see
- Average attendance against licensed capacity, which is what pricing should rest on
- Fees due against fees received, by family
- Part-time and full-time places counted separately
- Late collections, which push staff into unplanned hours
- Staff hours against the ratios the day required
Where it changes a decision
Whether to take one more child. That question turns on where your staffing ratio steps fall, and the answer changes completely depending on which side of a threshold you are on. With attendance and staffing recorded, it is arithmetic rather than instinct.
What it is not
It is not a curriculum or a safeguarding system. It handles the business side so those get your attention.
Price and fit
Daycare & Tuition is $25 a month, and Knomart bills only for the apps you install.
It suits a daycare with a mix of full-time and part-time places, or one where fee collection has become the hardest part of the week.
Daycares with several staff often add Payslip & Statutory at $10 a month, since payroll is the largest cost in the room and the one most tied to the ratios you must maintain. Apps are added individually; the monthly total is simply their prices together.
