LEARNING & ASSESSMENT

Documentation That Reflects How Children Learn

Canadian early learning frameworks put documentation at the centre of quality practice. Educators are expected to observe, reflect, and make children's learning visible — and licensing inspectors expect to see it.

Daily Connect makes that practical. Educators capture photos, record observations, and share learning stories directly from their phones — in the moment, without the paperwork pile. Everything is timestamped, organised by child, and accessible to families through the parent app.

Attendance Records Your Funding Relies On

If your centre participates in the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care programme, your monthly attendance records determine how much funding you receive. Daily Connect gives you accurate, real-time attendance for every child, every day — automatically timestamped at sign-in and sign-out. When it's time to submit your monthly report, your data is already there.

No scrambling at month-end. No reconstructing records from memory.

ATTENDANCE TRACKING

FAMILY COMMUNICATION

Every Family Understands. Every Message Gets Through.

Canada's childcare communities are multilingual — and in many centres, so is the staff. Daily Connect's Smart Assistant automatically translates messages between staff and families into the language of each user's account, based on their device settings. A message written in English arrives in French. No manual translation. No delayed responses. No family left out of the conversation.

Stay on Top of Certifications Before They Become a Compliance Problem

Licensed childcare staff must maintain current first aid and CPR certification, and anyone working in a licensed setting is required to complete a vulnerable sector check — renewed every five years in most provinces. Daily Connect lets you store credentials, set expiry dates, and receive automated reminders before anything lapses.

STAFF MANAGEMENT

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

Always Know Where You Stand on Ratios

Provincial licensing sets strict staff-to-child ratios that vary by age group, room type, and province. Daily Connect's real-time attendance dashboard shows exactly how many children are signed in, by room and age group, at any moment — so you and your team always know where you stand.

Billing That Handles the Complexity of Your Business

Automated billing tools built especially for childcare businesses. Send invoices, accept online payments, and get paid on time with payment reminder emails. You can even manage subsidy payments and track performance with a built-in financial dashboard.
