Built from the ground up for childcare centers — not adapted from generic software.
📍
Arrival Alerts & Geofence Check-In
When a guardian pulls up to your center, TrulyForged detects their arrival and notifies staff before they walk in the door. QR code and guardian PIN kiosk check-in are also available.
👨👩👧
Guardian Mobile App
iOS and Android app for parents. View attendance, receive push notifications as activities are logged, message your center, and manage billing — all in one place.
👩🏫
Staff & Classroom App
Teachers use the TrulyForged Classroom app to log meals, naps, diapers, and photos — and to check children in and out with guardian PIN verification. Scoped to their assigned classrooms.
📝
Activity Logs
Log meals, snacks, naps, diapers, potty breaks, outdoor time, and photos throughout the day. Parents receive a push notification for each entry and see a live timeline in their app.
💬
Two-Way Messaging
Direct threads with each family — both guardians see and can respond to the same conversation. Staff can message from the Classroom app. Send announcements to all families or specific classrooms.
💳
Billing & Invoicing
Weekly or monthly tuition billing via ACH bank transfer. Annual statements include your EIN for IRS Form 2441 childcare tax credit. You choose whether handling fees are paid by you or the family.
📊
Reports & Compliance
Live DCF staff-to-child ratio monitoring, VPK monthly attendance reports for Florida state reimbursement, enrollment summaries, outstanding balances, and revenue-by-classroom breakdowns.
🔒
Security & FERPA Compliance
Every login requires two-factor authentication. Daycare data is stored in a dedicated, isolated database in the United States, in compliance with FERPA data separation requirements.
📋
Digital Enrollment Packets
Build enrollment packet templates with text fields, checkboxes, date pickers, and signature fields. Send packets to families before their first day — guardians complete and e-sign everything from their phone. Signed documents are stored and downloadable anytime.
⏳
Waitlist Management
Maintain a ranked waitlist per age group with guardian contact info and the child's date of birth. When a spot opens, convert a waitlist record into a full enrollment in one step — no data re-entry needed.
🗓️
Staff Scheduling & Time Clock
Build weekly shift schedules and assign staff to classrooms. Teachers clock in and out from the Classroom app with location verification. Export payroll-ready time logs filtered by any date range.
🛡️
DCF Compliance Suite
