What is ChildFriendly Pro?

ChildFriendly Pro is a School Management platform for childcare centers, multi-site operators, and franchise groups in Canada and the United States. It centralizes child and family records, schedules, billing, attendance, communications, and location-level administration for directors, educators, and families.

Multi-center administration and billing

Multi-site organizations can use a holding account to manage locations, user roles, and organization-wide reporting through one login. ChildFriendly Pro connects booked schedules and attendance records to invoicing, and supports location-specific rates, split billing, subsidies, payment reminders, and automatic payments.

As an Invoicing system, the platform creates charges from care schedules and attendance data, giving finance and center staff a traceable basis for family billing and payment follow-up.

Attendance, ratios, and family communication

ChildFriendly Pro provides Student Attendance Tracking through live child check-in records and optional parent PIN-based kiosks. The platform can alert staff when configured room-capacity or child-to-staff ratio thresholds are at risk, helping centers monitor licensing-related operational requirements. Organizations remain responsible for meeting the regulations that apply to their locations.

Families can receive updates and exchange private messages with the center through a secure newsfeed and communications area, replacing disconnected text-message or chat threads.

Implementation and fit

ChildFriendly Pro is intended for childcare organizations that need configurable reports for state or provincial licensing processes, together with branded family-facing experiences. The vendor offers one-to-one onboarding and data-migration assistance, as well as white-label options for organizations that want to apply their own brand elements to the platform.
