From daycare centers and preschools to before-and-after care — childcare programs of every type rely on Bookingo.
You didn't start your business to drown in admin. Here's what Bookingo eliminates.
Paper sign-in and sign-out sheets are a compliance risk and a time sink. Illegible entries, missing signatures, and lost sheets make audits stressful and leave your program exposed.
With Bookingo
Digital check-in and check-out with timestamps, photo verification, and authorized pickup lists. Compliance-ready records are generated automatically — no more paper to chase.
Manual invoicing and payment tracking drains hours every week. Calculating subsidies, chasing late payments, and reconciling accounts keeps you buried in spreadsheets instead of focused on children.
With Bookingo
Automated billing with subsidy tracking, recurring payments, and smart reminders. Invoices are generated and sent automatically, and parents can pay online in seconds.
Parents feel disconnected — they have no visibility into their child's day. Without real-time updates on activities, meals, and milestones, trust erodes and families start looking elsewhere.
With Bookingo
A real-time parent feed with photos, activity logs, meal updates, and milestone tracking. Parents stay connected to their child's day, building trust and boosting retention.

Book a Live DemoReplace paper sign-in sheets with secure digital check-in and check-out. Staff or parents tap to check in via tablet or phone, with timestamps and photo verification logged automatically. Authorized pickup lists ensure only approved individuals can pick up each child — giving you compliance-ready records and peace of mind.
Generate licensing-ready attendance reports with a single click. Track daily headcounts, staff-to-child ratios, and attendance patterns over time. AI-powered insights flag anomalies and help you stay ahead of compliance requirements, so audits are stress-free.
Set up tuition billing, process subsidy payments, and handle co-pays automatically. The system generates invoices, processes recurring payments, and tracks subsidy reimbursements — so you spend minutes, not hours, on billing each week. Parents get clear payment history and easy online payment options.
Keep parents connected to their child's day with a real-time feed of activities, photos, meals, nap times, and milestones. Send announcements by classroom or age group, and let parents message staff directly. Engaged parents are happy parents — and happy parents refer friends.
Monitor staff-to-child ratios in real time across every classroom. The system alerts you when ratios approach regulatory limits, so you can adjust staffing before issues arise. Historical ratio data is logged automatically for compliance audits and licensing reviews.
Parents manage all their children from one account — enrollment, billing, pickup authorizations, and communication preferences. Automatic sibling discounts, consolidated invoicing, and shared family profiles make it easy for multi-child families to stay enrolled and engaged.
