Preschool Management System That Teachers Actually Use
Rawdly is a preschool management system designed for the realities of early childhood education — fast check-in at the door, milestone tracking alongside daily care, and parent updates that go out automatically at end of day. Simple enough for any teacher, powerful enough for directors managing multiple classrooms.
Free plan available for up to 5 children. No credit card required.
A preschool management system built around early childhood workflows
Generic childcare software treats a preschool like a drop-in daycare. Rawdly supports the activities, milestones, and communication patterns that matter specifically to Pre-K programs and nurseries.
Preschool Attendance Tracking
Digital sign-in and sign-out designed for busy preschool mornings. Staff check children in from a shared tablet at the door — no clipboards, no missing signatures. Real-time dashboards show who's present, who's absent, and your current staff-to-child ratios for Pre-K ratio compliance.
Developmental Milestone Logging
Go beyond naps and meals. Log academic and social milestones alongside daily activities so teachers document learning progress throughout the day. Notes sync instantly to each child's profile and are visible in parent updates — making parent-teacher communication seamless between formal conferences.
Daily Activity Reports for Preschool Parents
Parents of preschoolers want to know what their child learned, not just whether they napped. Rawdly's daily summaries include custom activity categories — circle time, outdoor play, art projects, early literacy — alongside meals and rest. AI summaries turn logged activities into warm narrative updates parents actually read.
Parent Communication for Nurseries
Replace the end-of-day folder stuffed with papers with real-time digital communication. Share photos of painting projects, send reminders about picture day, and message individual families privately — all without sharing staff personal phone numbers.
Preschool Billing and Tuition Management
Set up recurring weekly or monthly tuition for each enrolled family. Send invoices automatically, accept credit card payments through the app, and track which families have paid. Multi-rate billing handles full-time, part-time, and drop-in scheduling without manual calculation.
Enrollment and Waitlist Management
Manage your enrollment cap by room and age group. Track waitlisted families and move them to enrolled status when a spot opens. Keep all child records — emergency contacts, authorized pickups, allergies, immunization notes — organized and accessible from any device.
Rawdly vs. paper-based preschool management
Most preschools that switch to Rawdly were running on a mix of paper sign-in sheets, group texts, and manual invoices. Here's the difference a dedicated preschool management system makes.
