Software built by and for childcare center directors, family childcare providers, and their teams.

The childcare app designed to keep your team in the loop

Every day, directors and providers carry the whole program in their heads β€” who called out, who's covering, how many for lunch, which certification is about to lapse. Loop holds all of it, and shares it with your team, so you spend less time managing information and more time leading your program.

Stay in the loop. πŸ’«

If you've ever asked yourself…

Who's out today?Who's covering?Do we have enough staff?Which children are absent?What needs me right now?Did everyone see the message?

You shouldn't have to hold all of this in your head. That's exactly what Loop is for.

Loop streamlines your program's operations so you can spend less time coordinating and more time connecting.

Two modes. One purpose.

Built for centers and family child care homes

Stop piecing the day together with sticky notes, group texts, spreadsheets, and mental math. Loop keeps your team aligned in one place.

Childcare centers

Your operational command center

Most childcare software stores information. Loop helps you act on it. From staffing coverage and classroom ratios to compliance deadlines and daily planning, Loop helps directors understand what's happening, what needs attention, and what comes next.

  • One source of truth for the entire team
  • Real-time operational awareness
  • Actionable staffing and coverage tools
  • Compliance woven into daily operations
A first

Home daycares

Built for the people who do it all

When you run a home daycare, every decision runs through you β€” attendance, ratios, schedules, licensing, staff, substitutes and daily planning. Loop keeps it all organized and easy to find, so you can spend less time managing paperwork and more time caring for children.

  • Attendance and daily schedules
  • Interactive ratio mapping and licensing requirements
  • Staff, helpers, and substitutes
  • One place for everything that runs your program
When the room needs a hand

One tap, and the right person comes

Some days you can't stop to type. A teacher needs a bathroom break, or a classroom suddenly needs another set of hands. One tap sends a quiet signal to whoever's set to help β€” and they come. No group text, no leaving the children, no interrupting the whole team.

  • Bathroom break needed β€” a floater gets the call to cover
  • Extra hands needed β€” the nearest support staff is on the way
  • You decide who each signal reaches

All good

Goes straight to the right person, the moment you tap.

All in one place

Everything your team needs to run the day

Attendance. Staffing. Ratios. Compliance. Coverage. Communication β€” the whole day, together in one place.

Know who's out before it's a problem

Call-outs and absences come straight to you, with coverage already sorted β€” so you hear it at 6am from Loop, not at 8:55 from a parent in the parking lot.

Know exactly who can step in

When plans change, you can see who's free and where the gap is β€” without scrolling your phone or running the whole roster in your head.

Know your numbers without counting twice

Each classroom's count and your meal numbers are right there β€” no walking the halls counting heads three times before lunch.

Say it once β€” know everyone saw it

Send it to the whole program, one classroom, or one person, and see that it landed. The end of β€œI never got that” and the 13-person thread.

Never get blindsided by a renewal

Certifications, trainings and ratios are watched for you β€” by your state and by family child care licensing β€” so nothing expires the week before a visit.

Never miss a birthday or a milestone

Staff birthdays, work anniversaries and the small wins surface on their own β€” so caring for your people doesn't depend on your memory.

See it before it happens

Spot Thursday's gap on Monday

Loop lays the whole week out in front of you, so a coverage hole shows up days early β€” while there's still time to fix it. No more Friday-morning scramble.

  • Every room, every day, at a glance
  • Gaps flagged before they become emergencies
  • Fill one in a tap β€” and the whole team's updated

One program, two views

Everyone sees exactly what they need

The same day, shown two ways β€” a calm briefing for your staff, the full operational picture for you.

For your staff

Clarity from the moment they clock in

Every team member has a personalized dashboard with everything they need for the dayβ€”classroom assignments, coverage updates, break schedules, attendance, and team communication.

No guessing. No surprises.

Up and running today

Set up once. Calmer every day after.

Most programs are up and running the same day they sign up β€” no training day required.

01

Add your classrooms (or your home)

Set up your rooms or your family child care home, your staff and your schedules. It takes minutes, not a training day.

02

Your team signs in

Everyone lands on a dashboard made for their day β€” their classroom, their hours, what's happening. No manual required.

03

The day runs calmer

Coverage, call-outs, messages and compliance all live in one place. You stop chasing updates and start seeing them.

Your program's information stays yours

Every center and home is its own private space. Your children, your staff, your schedules β€” locked to your program and never visible to anyone outside your team. Quietly secure, so it's one less thing on your mind.

Built for the way childcare actually works

Made by people who've run the classroom and the program. Two modes β€” childcare centers and family child care homes. One purpose: carrying the day so you don't have to. Set up in minutes.
