Home-based providers
Run your home daycare with the same professional tools as larger centers — without the complexity or the price tag.
Attendance, billing, compliance, and family communication — built from the ground up for how daycare centers actually run, from home-based providers to multi-site operators.
Whether you're running one classroom or five locations, Uniqda scales to how you work.
Run your home daycare with the same professional tools as larger centers — without the complexity or the price tag.
The complete toolkit for single-site directors — compliance, billing, staff scheduling, and parent communication from one platform.
Centralise operations across up to 5 locations — one-click location switching, franchise-ready per-location payouts, and a centralized dashboard for every center, room, and staff member.
Purpose-built for daycare directors, at any scale.
QR code, PIN, and photo capture check-in. Live child:staff ratios per room with configurable alert thresholds. Works offline.
Recurring invoicing from fee schedules, online card/ACH payments, autopay, and government subsidy tracking.
Daily activity reports, photos, milestone updates, and two-way messaging. Push notifications for every key moment.
Jurisdiction-aware incident reports, fire drill logs, staff credential monitoring, and medication authorizations — all audit-ready.
Shift scheduling, time tracking, credential expiry alerts, and role-based access — one workforce hub for your entire team.
Real-time occupancy, ratio alerts, unpaid invoice totals, and compliance deadlines — your morning command center.
From the moment a child arrives to the moment they leave, every second is accounted for. Real-time ratios surface instantly — before a licensing issue becomes a problem.
Set up your fee schedules once and Uniqda handles the rest — recurring invoices generated on schedule, online payment collection, and autopay for families who'd rather set it and forget it.
Daily reports, activity photos, milestone moments, and direct messaging — all in one parent app that families actually check. No more group texts or paper sheets going home in a backpack.
Compliance built into the platform — not bolted on. Uniqda knows your licensing jurisdiction and surfaces exactly what you need before inspectors arrive.
A dedicated onboarding specialist handles the heavy lifting — no matter which platform you're switching from — so you stay focused on the children in your care.
Enter your rooms, enrollment, fee schedules, and staff. Our guided setup wizard walks you through every step in about 90 minutes. We migrate your data from your current platform at no charge.
Staff get an invite to the Uniqda Staff app with role-appropriate access built in. Parents get a link to their family portal in any browser — no app download required, though a free Uniqda Parent app is available too. Setup usually takes under 3 minutes.
Attendance, billing, and compliance work from day one. Your dedicated Customer Success Manager checks in at 30, 60, and 90 days to make sure everything is working perfectly.
The Uniqda mobile app puts everything you need on iOS and Android — whether you're a director checking ratios from the car or a teacher logging a daily update between activities.
Check attendance, ratios, and billing from anywhere, even between classroom transitions.
Check-ins, daily reports, and medication logs work even without an internet connection — everything syncs when you reconnect.
Teachers see operational tools; parents see their child's day. Same app, role-specific experience.

We built Uniqda by studying how daycare directors actually run their day, and designed every workflow around that.
Every workflow — attendance, billing, compliance — is designed around how your center actually operates, whether that's one room or several locations.
Pricing built around the size of your center, with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons — so costs don't creep up unexpectedly as you grow.
Jurisdiction-aware incident reports, drill logs, and credential tracking — built for British Columbia, Ontario, and California at launch, with more regions added regularly.
We're working directly with early centers to shape the platform. Start a free 30-day trial, or talk to us about piloting Uniqda at your center — including free, hands-on data migration from whatever you're using today.
We take the security of children's data as seriously as you take the safety of the children in your care.
Every action is scoped to a staff member's role, and access to child records is logged and auditable — built for how licensing inspectors expect data to be handled.
Built to Children's Online Privacy Protection Act requirements, with per-child consent controls for photos and data. We don't monetize family data.
All data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher). Photos and messages are encrypted by default.
Hosted on Amazon Web Services with automated backups baked into every environment.
No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons — every plan includes the full platform. Pricing is based on the size of your center, not which features you unlock.

No. Plans are month-to-month with no long-term commitment — cancel any time with 30 days notice.
Your dedicated onboarding specialist handles the data import — child profiles, family contacts, billing history, emergency contacts, and enrollment records — no matter which platform you're coming from. We target 5 business days to fully live, and we run both platforms in parallel during the transition so nothing falls through the cracks.
Uniqda launched with jurisdiction-aware compliance for British Columbia, Ontario, and California, with more regions being added regularly. When you set up your center, the platform automatically adapts — showing the right incident report fields, drill frequency requirements, staff credential types, and health record requirements for your jurisdiction. If your region isn't supported yet, talk to us — we prioritize new jurisdictions based on demand.
Yes. The Uniqda kiosk app runs on any iPad or Android tablet and fully supports PIN check-in, QR code scanning, and parent signature capture in offline mode. Check-ins, check-outs, and medication logs are stored locally and sync to the cloud automatically when connectivity returns — parents and staff see real-time updates as soon as sync completes.
We process payments through Stripe. Card transactions carry a standard 2.9% + 30¢ processing fee (passed through at cost — we don't add a margin). ACH/bank transfers are 0.8% capped at $5. These are industry-standard payment processing rates. We never charge a platform percentage on top of your tuition revenue.
Your data is yours, full stop. When you cancel, we export everything — child records, attendance history, billing records, incident reports, staff files — in standard CSV and PDF formats at no charge. We retain encrypted data for 90 days after cancellation in case you change your mind or need something we missed. After 90 days, data is permanently deleted per our privacy policy.
Yes. Parents can access the full parent portal through any web browser — no app download required. The web portal supports all features including daily reports, photo viewing, messaging, payment, and document signing. For a richer experience with push notifications, we have free iOS and Android apps that parents can optionally download.
Stop fighting your software and start focusing on what matters — the children in your care.
