Little Sprout is a preschool and childcare management platform for attendance, daily reports, parent communication, and billing. It runs on web, iOS, Android, and API access. Attendance can be captured by QR code, OTP, or checklist, with real-time parent notifications at check-in and check-out. Teachers can record meals, naps, diaper changes, and learning activities, then share those journals with parents. Pickup authorization combines parent QR codes, guard-verified OTPs, and time-stamped records. Administration includes student profiles, class allocation, activity logs, media, events, broadcasts, billing, staff scheduling, and analytics. Growth and Canopy support in-app payments through FPX transfers, cards, and e-wallets. Canopy adds custom API database integrations and exports. Schools can import rosters by CSV, with free migration from the Malaysian customer success team. The service lists encrypted information and photos, Malaysia PDPA and child-safety compliance, unlimited storage, synchronization, and staff permissions. A 14-day trial requires no credit card; subscriptions are month to month.
