“We used to use Procare, but found it to be incredibly clunky. We then switched to Sandbox software but found they were not innovating very fast. Now we’ve finally found Famly, and haven’t looked back since.”

Frequently asked questions

Is the Famly childcare app all-in-one?

You bet it is. From parent payments to staff schedules, revenue reports, batch billing, interactive newsfeeds, and parent messaging, the Famly childcare management app has every feature to help you run your ECE center smoothly.

How many apps does Famly have for daycare providers?

One! Whether you have 25 centers or just one, you just need one app. We offer different packages for different daycare providers, so you can choose which features would best fit your center. Because good childcare software should work in collaboration with you, and give you exactly what you need. We won’t try sell you features you don’t need.

What’s the best childcare app for my center?

It’s a big question, but you should always choose the best childcare app for you. Have a look at all features provided, if it’s customizable for you, if you get 1-on-1 personal support, if it handles all your billing...you name it. It’s important that you choose the best childcare app for your unique needs, and find a company that will work in collaboration with you - not just a software giant. We’re biased and think we’re the best childcare app, but come chat with us and see what you think!

Do all software providers have a childcare app?

A lot of software providers do, but the Famly app lets you do everything from any device. So you can literally run your entire center from your pocket if you wanted to. Or a tablet. Or completely on a computer - it’s all up to you. And parents download the same app as well - they just get their own private login. Everything is centralized and easily accessible, no matter where you are or what device you prefer.
