From infant rooms to before- and after-school to summer camp, SmartRec handles enrollment, attendance, payments, and tax statements — all on one platform. Less time on admin for your staff, and a better experience for your families.
Enrollment, billing, and reminders run themselves — so staff are with children, not paperwork.

Childcare enrollment never really stops. SmartRec keeps rooms full year-round, moves families off the waitlist as spots open, and turns re-enrollment into a one-tap yes — then handles the summer camp rush on the same system.
Full rooms, shorter waitlists, less chasing.
“SmartRec has allowed our business to grow because I wouldn't have been able to with the way I was working. The software is saving us crucial time, about 5 hours a day!”
Families manage the whole household from one account — enroll, pay, update info, and stay in the loop, on the web or the app. Less back-and-forth for them, fewer calls for your front desk.
Happier families, lighter front desk, easy re-enrollment.
Check children in and out from the staff app, see live attendance by room, and keep each child's medical and pickup details a tap away — captured right on your registration forms.
How it works
Most organizations run more than childcare alone — and end up with one system for daycare, another for after-school, and a spreadsheet for camp. SmartRec runs the whole thing in one place, so nothing falls between the cracks.
Infant, toddler, preschool, Pre-K — full- or part-day, year-round or school-year.
School-year care, PD days, holiday and snow-day coverage
General, age-grouped, and overnight programs through the season.
Sports, arts, STEM, and leadership — themed and time-bound.
Occasional and hourly care, billed by visit.
Integrated support, specialized groups, and 1:1 care.
Childcare billing isn't a one-time checkout. SmartRec runs recurring billing, splits invoices across families and agencies, and bills the way your programs actually work — then generates the statements families need at tax time.
Hours back every week — and every January.
The families already in your system roll straight into camp — no new logins, no separate tool. Handle the seasonal rush with the waitlists and drop-ins camps are built around.
Register and manage every camp type from the same account.
Fill the summer rush and refill cancellations automatically.
Childcare families sign up for camp without re-registering.
