Farlow

Run your child care center from one app.

Check-in, ratios, the day's notes for families, CACFP meal counts, tuition and staff hours. Teachers write things down once and every report that needs it reads the same entry.

Thirty seconds of a day in Farlow

A bottle at 7:45, a nap at 9:10, pickup at 5:28, and what the office sees after close. Real screens from a sample center.

A day at the Ducklings room

  1. 7:02A dad scans the QR code on the wall and signs his daughter in from his own phone.
  2. 8:15Two extra toddlers arrive. The Ducklings room shows it is one child from going over ratio.
  3. 9:40A teacher logs snack. The parents see it, and it is already on the CACFP meal count.
  4. 12:30Naps start and end on the record as they happen, not from memory at 6pm.
  5. 3:15A photo of the first block tower goes to the family with the day's notes.
  6. 5:58Grandma signs her out. She is on the pickup list, so the sign-out goes through.
  7. After closeTuition goes out on autopay. Staff hours are on the timesheet. Nobody stays late to type.

Everything a center runs on

Check-in and ratios

The front door and the ratio count, kept in the same place so neither one drifts.

Daily reports for parents

Teachers log what happened once. Families see it, and the records the office needs come from the same entries.

Billing and tuition

Tuition is the center's income, so billing is a full part of Farlow, not an add-on.

CACFP meal tracking

The meal count builds itself from what teachers log at the table.
