What Kindertales is
Kindertales is childcare management software for providers handling enrollment, family communication, attendance, billing, lesson planning, and other operations. Its enrollment workflows cover online registration and CRM stages from initial inquiry and tours through waitlists, applications, attendance, and graduation. Billing tools include recurring plans, card and direct debit payments, subsidy and agency billing, and automatic tax receipts; kinderPAY processing is powered by Stripe. Attendance can use QR code or facial recognition for check-in and check-out, with historical and projected reports. Staff can message families and teachers from tablets, desktops, or mobile devices using templates. Providers can record developmental milestones using the platform’s defaults or their own, and managers can edit entries. Reporting and analytics are powered by Microsoft Power BI and can incorporate accounting, payroll, and other operational datasets. The maker says browser traffic uses 256-bit SSL encryption, application and data are behind firewalls and monitored around the clock, and the product is SOC II Type 1 compliant. Kindertales is available on the web, iOS, and Android. Pricing is available on request. The Parents app requires the child’s provider to use Kindertales.
