What is the Day Care & Nursery Management Software?
Zinen Technologies' Day Care and Nursery Management Software is built for day cares, creches, nurseries and early-learning centres in Kenya and East Africa, whether you run one room or a group of centres. It covers the whole day: who is dropped off and collected, how many children each adult is looking after, what each child ate, slept and learned, and who has paid.
At the door, a tablet kiosk checks children in and out with a phone number and PIN, QR pickup cards or one-time codes for other collectors, and it knows who may collect a child and who must not. In each room, a live children-to-adult ratio warns you before a breach, and teachers record meals, naps, nappies, medicine and activities with one tap for a child or the whole room. Parents get a portal with a timeline, daily reports and photos with consent checks, and pay fees by M-Pesa. Managers see admissions, health, staffing and compliance on a clickable dashboard.
