How ChildPilot Helps You Reclaim 15+ Hours a Week
Every minute counts when you’re running a childcare program—it’s a fast-paced balancing act of schedules, parent communication, staff coordination, compliance, and constant decision-making. From open to close, directors and educators juggle countless responsibilities that leave little time to focus on what truly matters: the children and families they serve.
That’s why thousands of early childhood programs are turning to ChildPilot—an all-in-one childcare solution designed to lighten your workload, streamline your operations, and give you your time back. In this post, we’ll show you exactly how centers are saving 15+ hours every week with ChildPilot—by automating daily tasks, simplifying billing, and replacing time-consuming systems with smarter tools.

- Secure online payments through CardConnect
- Customizable tuition plans, sibling discounts, and late fee settings

2. Digitize Attendance & Check-In/Out
Manual attendance tracking is tedious—and prone to error. Paper sign-in sheets must be entered later, and keeping up with real-time ratios can be overwhelming.
With ChildPilot’s Check-In features, you can:
- Use secure QR code scanning or PIN-based check-in/out for families and staff.
- View real-time attendance dashboards by room and age group
- Receive alerts for compliance and staffing ratios
- Instantly access attendance logs for audits or subsidy programs
💡 Fact: Centers using digital check-in solutions save up to 3 hours per week, eliminate attendance disputes, and strengthen compliance readiness.
3. Simplify Enrollment & Child Transitions
Enrolling new families or transitioning children to new rooms takes time, especially when dealing with paper packets or clunky spreadsheets.
ChildPilot’s enrollment and forms tools help you:
- Accept inquiries, waitlists, and enrollments online
- Track and automate child transitions by room or age
- Store signed forms, immunizations, and emergency info digitally
- Keep families engaged and updated during the process
💡 Fact: Onboarding a single child can take 30–60 minutes manually. By using ChildPilot’s digital forms, users report saving 2–3 hours per week—and creating a better family experience.
