For directors and staff: first setup, the daily routine, billing families and staying on top of compliance.
One day at a childcare centre that runs on Rawdly: staff check a child in and her mom sees it on her phone, lunch and nap are logged and shared as they happen, a teacher's voice memo becomes an AI incident report, and the month's invoice lands in the parent app. Less paperwork for your team, and parents in the loop all day.

Start a conversation with a parent from the Rawdly web app and send a message they get straight away in the Rawdly parent app. One thread per parent and child keeps every conversation in one place.
Create an invoice for a family in the Rawdly web app and send it: set the child, the paying parent, the amount and the due date, mark it Sent, and the parent sees it in the Rawdly app with how to pay.
Keep every classroom in ratio with Rawdly: see live staff-to-child ratios room by room, clock in to a room from the top bar, see who is on shift, and export a License Inspector PDF with thirty days of attendance, ratios and breaches.
Turn a teacher's voice memo into a formal incident report with Rawdly AI: record the memo in the browser, let AI fill in who, what, where and when and write the report, then review, edit and sign. Parents are notified in the Rawdly app.
Plan a week of activities for a classroom in Rawdly, add activities from the built-in library, and publish the plan so parents see it in the Rawdly app.
Build an online enrollment application from Rawdly's pre-built templates, share it with a link or QR code, review each family's answers on your Waitlist, and send the enrollment packet for signing.
Create a personalised AI picture book in Rawdly with the Guided Wizard: title and age, who can read it, theme, main character and lesson. Rawdly writes and illustrates it, then you can print it and share it with families.
Turn the meals you serve into your monthly CACFP claim: plan a compliant weekly menu, record meal counts, and let Rawdly total the reimbursement by each child's eligibility, ready to export for OSPI WINS.
Link your chart of accounts to Rawdly's invoice types once, then export a month of payments, already coded to the right accounts, as a CSV or Excel file for your bookkeeper, QuickBooks or Xero.
Quick Wins turns a director's biggest weekly chores into one tap each: AI weekly summaries for every parent, your CACFP claim, a ratio audit for your licensing inspector, immunization reminders, last month's accounting export and subsidy reconciliation.
