Childcare center software

Built by people
who run a
childcare center.

RoundUp runs the day for childcare center directors and owners: check-in and ratios, billing, family updates, incidents and medication, state reports and staff. Every workflow is tested first at Swift Start's two Oregon centers, our first customer.

The line
Open to all centers January 1, 2027. Until then, fewer than ten Oregon design partners get it free through 2026, with weekly founder sessions and a say in what ships next. A parent? Family help is here.

What it does

The work of a center day, in one place.

Base covers check-in, ratios, family updates and incidents. Add-ons cover billing, funding, staff and enrollment.

Check-in and ratios

Drop-off in three taps. Each room's ratio updates live against your state's rules, Oregon's mixed-age table included, and flags a room that's out.

Tuition billing

Invoices, late fees and receipts go out on schedule. Families pay by card, bank account or Apple Pay, or set up autopay.

Family updates

Photos, naps and meals reach families as the day happens, one thread per child. In English, Spanish and French.

Incidents and medication

Staff file the incident report on the spot; the family acknowledges it in the app. Parents sign medication authorizations, and every dose is logged.

State reporting

ERDC attendance for Oregon subsidy billing, Spark QRIS score tracking, and CACFP meal counts with the monthly claim file.

Staff

Onboarding documents, certifications, time off and reviews, one record per staff member.

In the app

Three screens from a director's morning.

A drop-off, the live ratio board, and where tuition stands, drawn from the real screens.

RoundUp Open to all centers January 1, 2027

15 minutes. We'll show you
your Tuesday morning.

We'll walk through check-in, ratios and billing in a demo center. Oregon centers can apply for one of fewer than ten design-partner spots: free RoundUp through 2026, weekly sessions with the founder, and a direct say in what ships next.
