Less paperwork. More playtime.

You’re the provider, the cook, the bookkeeper, and the one filling out state forms at 9pm. PlayDay takes the paperwork half — logs, licensing forms, food program, invoices — for $9.99 a month flat.

The claim is basically done before the month is.

PlayDay checks each meal against the food-component rules while you’re logging it — not weeks later while you’re reconstructing the month from memory. If a lunch is short a component, you find out at lunch, when you can still do something about it.

A calmer way to answer “how was my kid today?”

Parents get one feed with their child’s whole day in it, so most questions are answered before anyone asks them. Daycare messages land in the app’s inbox — not in your personal texts at 8:40 on a Sunday night.

Professional invoices. However you like to get paid.

Send an itemized invoice from the same app you logged the day in, with your payment instructions right on it — Zelle, check, cash, or pay online. The way your families already pay you doesn’t have to change.

Switch right now without a data-entry weekend.

Import your whole roster at once instead of adding children one at a time. For anything you don’t already have, email families an intake link — they fill in their child’s details from their own phone, and it lands on your roster without anyone retyping it.

Phone during hours. Laptop after.

Same account either way. Logs and messages are two taps while you’re on the floor with the kids. Invoicing, licensing forms and CACFP reports are easier to power through on a laptop once everyone’s gone home.

Built for your daycare, not a scaled-down center.

Brightwheel, Procare, and Playground are priced per enrolled child and built around directors, classrooms, and staff ratios. Here’s what changes when the software assumes it’s just you.
