ChildcareWare
is a daycare management software program
that will help your business by easily
automating many of the tasks you have
to do to run your business. To help with
record keeping, it will store child, parent,
and pickup person information, photos,
childcare rates, enroll dates, immunization
histories, and even parent wishes, diets,
and allergies. To help with billing, it
will keep track of child attendance hours
and expenses for each child, and then
automatically print childcare bills for
each child. It will even store staff working
hours and generate staff pay statements.

To help with
bookkeeping, ChildcareWare will track
childcare payments and paid childcare bills.
It can even run accounting reports to show
you which children owe a bill, and what
your income is. It even includes a Timeclock
program to free up your time from sign-in
and sign-out recording, by letting parents
and staff sign themselves in/out. To help
you stay in touch with parents, it also
includes an appointment scheduler and functions
to automatically create emails and form
letters. It even includes a Palm PDA application
that can keep all child records in your
Palm PDA when you need to lookup a child's
