  • Families who stay

    One easy account and self-serve everything make re-enrolling the obvious choice.

Enrollment & Registration

Keep every room full, all year. Not just in peak season.

Enrollment never stops. SmartRec keeps rooms full year-round, clears your waitlist as spots open, and makes re-enrollment one tap. Then it handles the summer camp rush on the same system.

Full rooms, shorter waitlists, less chasing.

  • Year-round & recurring enrollment, with automatic reminders
  • Waitlists by room and age group, filled automatically as spots open
  • Families enroll and complete forms from home, 24/7
  • Seasonal camp registration when summer comes, on the same platform

Attendance & Safety

Know who's checked in and who's cleared for pickup.

Check kids in and out from the staff app, see live attendance by room, and keep each child's medical and pickup details a tap away, straight from your registration forms.

How it works

  • Check-in and check-out from the staff app
  • Live attendance and rosters by room or group
  • Medical, allergy & authorized-pickup details captured on custom forms
  • Attendance and activity reports

Every program you run,
from infant care to summer camp.

Most organizations run more than childcare, juggling one system for daycare, another for after-school, and a spreadsheet for camp. SmartRec runs it all in one place, so nothing slips through the cracks.

  • 01 Early childhood care 

    Infant, toddler, preschool, and Pre-K, full- or part-day, year-round.

  • 02 Before & after-school care

    School-year care, PD days, and holiday and snow-day coverage.

  • 03 Day & overnight camps 

    General, age-grouped, and overnight programs through the season.

  • 04 Specialty & enrichment camps 

    Sports, arts, STEM, and leadership, themed and time-bound.

  • 05 Drop-in & child watch

    Occasional and hourly care, billed by visit.

  • 06 Inclusive & supported programs 

    Integrated support, specialized groups, and 1:1 care.

Billing & Subsidies

Billing that fits families and runs itself.

Childcare billing isn't one-and-done. SmartRec handles recurring billing, splits invoices across families and agencies, and generates the statements families need at tax time.

Hours back every week and every January.

  • Recurring billing & auto-pay on any schedule
  • Subsidy, third-party & agency billing, split one invoice across families, agencies, and employers
  • Schedule-based billing by attendance or enrollment pattern, not flat fees
  • Childcare payment statements for tax time (CRA & IRS)

Camps

When summer comes, your camps run on the same platform.

Families already in your system roll straight into camp: no new logins, no separate tool. Handle the rush with built-in waitlists and drop-ins.

  • Day, overnight & specialty camps

    Register and manage every camp type from the same account.

  • Waitlists & drop-ins

    Fill the summer rush and refill cancellations automatically.

  • One family account

    Childcare families sign up for camp without re-registering.
