Mia had a joyful day. She led the morning song, ate most of her lunch, and rested about an hour and twenty minutes. In the afternoon she got delightfully messy with finger painting — ask her about the purple one.

Bring your families with you. Leave the contract behind.
Import from an export
Both systems let you export your roster as a spreadsheet. Upload it and Saplyn matches children, families and contacts; a second upload brings each family's opening balance. You review a preview before anything posts.
Keep every parent
The parent app is free for families, with unlimited household members. Each parent gets an invite in their own language and finds the same child, the same room, and a statement they can read.
No contract
Month to month, cancel from Settings, and export everything on the way out — for 30 days after you leave. The Terms say so, not just this page.
What a switch actually takes: an afternoon for rooms, families and balances, and about a week for every parent to install the app. Run both systems for that week if you like; nothing here is sent to a family until you approve it.

Most platforms in this category ask you to request a quote before you'll see a number. We'd rather you knew the price before you talk to anyone.
It writes the busywork. A teacher always has the last word.
Saplyn AI turns the day's check-ins, meals and naps into a warm daily recap, drafts replies to families and the monthly newsletter, and proposes billing changes — then waits for a person to read it over before a single word reaches a family.
- Drafts every child's daily report from what was already logged on the floor
- Drafts replies to family messages and the newsletter in your center's voice
- Translates a message to a family into their language, right in the composer
- A billing copilot that proposes the change — a new family's plan, a changed split — and waits for your Approve

The families you actually have, billed the way they actually pay.
Split households, a subsidy agency, a child who starts on the 8th — every center has them, and most software makes you fake them with notes and credits. Saplyn models them.
- Split households: each parent is billed for their share and sees only their own
- Subsidy agencies are payers with their own invoice and their own balance, not a note on a parent's
- A mid-month start or end is prorated automatically, by the rule you choose
- Nothing in the ledger is ever rewritten. A correction is a new line, so an audit is a read, not a reconstruction

One September statement for a split household with a subsidy, as the ledger holds it.
The table stakes, done properly.
From the first application to the last pickup of the day, one connected system for the director, the teachers, and the families.
Enrollment & waitlist
A public application page parents finish on their phone, ranked priority groups, and offers a family accepts in a tap — straight through to an enrolled child.
Attendance & the front-desk kiosk
A PIN kiosk at the door, a live count for every room, and who is authorized for pickup — every check-in on the record for licensing.
Ratios & compliance
1:4 for infants, mixed-age offsets, the under-2 limit — computed from the actual ages of the children in the room, by your state's rule, as they check in.
Daily reports
Meals, naps, diapers, photos and activities logged on the floor in seconds and sent home as one warm recap.
Messaging & announcements
A private thread per child, center-wide announcements, and a translate button in the composer — never a group text.
Staff & scheduling
Shifts, a time clock, timesheets and a payroll summary — plus each teacher's own view of her room and her day.
Your parents will use it on day one.
Free for families, unlimited household members
Mom, Dad, grandma and the nanny each get their own login. Nothing is per seat, and nothing is ever charged to a family for the app.
Bilingual, per family
A Spanish-speaking parent gets the daily report, the invoice and every email in Spanish. The teacher writes in English. Nobody translates by hand.
It replaces the group text
Every message is about one child, to that child's family. Nothing about a child is ever sent to the wrong parent.

Specifics
Vague products say "compliance". This one says 1:4 for infants, mixed-age offsets, the under-2 limit, from the actual ages in the room. Every feature line on this page carries a detail only a built product would know.

The honest answers.
Yes. $99 per center per month, or $990 a year. Every module, Saplyn AI, unlimited children, staff and families, the importer and support. There are no add-on modules and no per-child fees. If you run more than one center, each is the same flat price.
