## What is PlayDay?

BUILT FOR HOME DAYCARE PROVIDERS
You're the teacher, the office, and the business owner, all at once. PlayDay brings daily logs, parent messaging, invoicing, enrollment, and licensing paperwork into one app, so running the business doesn't take more work than running the program.

▸ LOG THE DAY IN ONE PASS
Tap to record meals, bottles, diapers, potty, naps, activities, and milestones. Log the same meal or nap for the whole group at once instead of repeating yourself child by child. Attach photos and video to anything. Or just say it: type or dictate "Liam and Ava both napped 12:15 to 2, Liam's diaper changed at 1" and PlayDay sorts it into separate, correctly-typed entries for each child, ready for you to review.

▸ KEEP FAMILIES IN THE LOOP
Parents get a live feed of their child's day — meals, naps, photos, milestones. Message a family directly, or send an announcement to everyone at once. Parents can comment and react, and choose real-time alerts or a single daily digest.

▸ INVOICING AND PAYMENT TRACKING
Send professional invoices and know exactly where each one stands — due, overdue, or paid. PlayDay keeps a clean, accurate record of every payment, so your books stay current without a spreadsheet.

▸ ENROLL WITHOUT THE PAPER PACKET
Build your own intake form from built-in fields and your own custom questions. Email a secure link to a new family, they complete it from their phone, and PlayDay creates the child's profile and links the parent account automatically. Already have paper forms? PlayDay scans them and extracts the child, parent, emergency contact, and physician details for you.

▸ LICENSING PAPERWORK, ALREADY FILLED OUT
Upload your state's licensing PDF once. PlayDay reads its fields, maps them to the records in your roster, and generates a completed, ready-to-submit form for any child. Photograph a child's vaccination record and PlayDay pulls every dose date into your state's immunization record, correctly crediting combination vaccines that count toward multiple requirements at once.

▸ STAY CACFP-READY
Log meals with food components tracked as you go. PlayDay exports a monthly compliance report when you need it.

▸ REPORTS WHEN YOU NEED THEM
Export a full activity log per child by date range as CSV or PDF. Generate daily reports that notify parents automatically.

▸ WORK FROM YOUR PHONE OR YOUR COMPUTER
Everything in PlayDay works the same on mobile and on the web — log from your phone during the day, handle invoicing and paperwork from a laptop at night. Same account, same data, no syncing to think about.

▸ IMPORT YOUR ROSTER IN MINUTES
Already tracking your children in a spreadsheet, another app, or on paper? Import your existing roster and PlayDay builds every child's profile for you — no retyping names, birthdates, or contact info one at a time.

Try PlayDay free for 14 days — no credit card required. Then one flat monthly price. Unlimited children, unlimited storage, no per-child fees, no sales call.
