Most childcare centers run on a patchwork — a check-in app, a billing tool, a parent messaging app, a separate enrollment form, plus spreadsheets for everything in between. Sycamore replaces the patchwork with one connected system.
From directors to lead teachers to part-time aides — everyone uses the same system, with role-based access tuned to what each person actually needs to do their job.
Parents see what they need to see, when they need to see it — without you having to chase email chains, paper folders, or text threads. Real-time updates and announcements live in the same system parents already use to pay tuition.
Every hour your director or office manager spends on manual paperwork is an hour not spent on children, families, or staff. Sycamore automates the repetitive work so your team can focus on what only humans can do.
Whether you operate a single classroom, a daycare attached to a larger campus, or a multi-site early education organization, Sycamore grows with you — without forcing a re-platform when you add a location.
Sycamore Childcare runs on the same secure, mature platform that has supported independent K-12 schools in 42 countries since 1999. You're not the beta tester for new childcare software — you're inheriting 25+ years of reliability.
Software: $4/child/month list price — all-in for enrollment, attendance, communication, parent app, support, and Academy training. Volume discounts apply at 400+ children. Payments: processing fees only when used. Card 3.9%; ACH 1.8% with the banking portion (~0.8%) capped at $5 per transaction (Sycamore's 1% service fee always uncapped). Estimates assume tuition is collected once per child per month and ACH/card mix as selected.
