Childcare software

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

Seedling is childcare software for one great center: the daily essentials done well, a flat $40 a month, and families who never have to download anything.

All-in-one, without the bloat

The big childcare platforms grew into everything machines: lesson-plan modules, CRM funnels, enterprise dashboards. Directors tell us they use a fraction of it and pay for all of it. Seedling keeps the parts a center touches every day: attendance, ratios, billing, agreements, messaging, photos, and records, and skips the shelfware.

That focus is why the price can stay flat and visible. $40 a month covers unlimited children and staff with every feature included. Your data stays yours: families and children export to CSV whenever you like, and there is no annual contract holding you.

  • Kiosk check-in with PINs and a QR self-serve option
  • Live ratio tracking across every room
  • Autopay tuition with receipts and retry links
  • Multi-document e-signed enrollment packets
  • Announcements, messages, and photo moments
  • Licensing-ready reports and exports

Common questions

What is the best childcare software for a single center?

The best fit for a single center is software built for one location rather than a chain: fast setup, flat pricing, and the daily essentials without enterprise modules. That is exactly the niche Seedling is built for, at a flat $40 a month.

How is Seedling different from Brightwheel or Procare?

Two ways: pricing and the family experience. Seedling posts a flat $40 a month instead of a per-child quote behind a sales call, and families use a secure portal from their inbox instead of downloading an app. See the side-by-side comparisons for details.

Can I switch from my current platform?

Yes. Most centers import their roster from a CSV and are running the same day. Our guide to switching childcare software walks through the whole move, including the parent handoff.
