The childcare platform that handles the hard stuff
TinyDesk brings attendance, communication, milestones, scheduling, billing, and compliance into one platform — purpose-built for childcare providers who want to spend less time on admin and more time with children.
Attendance Tracking
Digital check-in and check-out replaces paper sign-in sheets with secure, auditable records. Real-time headcounts keep every room accounted for, and late pickup alerts notify staff automatically.
- Parents check in via the app or a tablet at the front desk
- Directors see real-time headcounts across all rooms from one screen
- Late pickup alerts are sent to staff and backup contacts automatically
Parent Communication
Send daily activity reports, photos, meal logs, and announcements through a branded parent app. Direct messaging keeps conversations organized and out of personal text threads.
- Teachers send daily reports with photos and activity summaries
- Directors broadcast announcements to all parents or specific rooms
- Parents message teachers directly without exchanging personal numbers
Milestone Logging
Track developmental milestones aligned with state early learning standards. Teachers log observations, and TinyDesk generates progress reports that parents and licensing agencies value.
- Teachers log milestones during daily activities with quick-tap entries
- Parents receive quarterly progress reports through the app
- Directors use milestone data for curriculum planning and staff development
Staff Ratio Optimization
AI analyzes enrollment patterns, historical attendance, and staff availability to build schedules that maintain required ratios while minimizing overtime and coverage gaps.
- Auto-generate weekly staff schedules based on projected attendance
- Get alerts when a room is approaching ratio limits
- Manage call-outs and substitutes without manual phone trees
Compliance Reports
TinyDesk auto-generates state licensing documentation, health and safety records, and inspection-ready reports. All data is structured, timestamped, and exportable.
- Pull inspection-ready reports in minutes before a licensing visit
- Track immunization records and health screenings per child
- Generate fire drill logs, incident reports, and safety documentation
