Director console
The director console runs in a web browser and on tablets. Its Today screen answers three questions: are we in ratio, are we paid, are we inspection-ready.
Today screen
Tiles for attendance, ratios by room, staff on shift, unpaid balances, open incidents and expiring documents. Tap any tile for the detail.
Ratios
Kinfold tracks each room’s ratio live from check-ins and staff clock-ins, and forecasts the rest of the day from schedules and expected pickups. You get an alert at least 15 minutes before a forecast breach, with a suggested staff move. Moving a child between rooms is checked against the target room’s ratio.
Enrollment and waitlists
Track inquiries, tours, waitlist entries, offers and e-signed enrollment contracts by age group. Kinfold never charges families waitlist fees. Families can see their waitlist status and confirm they’re still interested.
Staff
Keep profiles, schedules and qualifications with expiry dates. Clock-ins are tied to rooms so ratios stay accurate. Timesheets export to your payroll.
Compliance and inspections
Kinfold scans child and staff files every week for missing signatures, expired immunizations, missing training hours and incomplete records. Before an inspection, Inspection mode builds a PDF packet of the records you choose for a date range.
Funding-ready records
Attendance records keep who recorded each entry and every edit with a reason. Each child’s age group, space type, CWELCC eligibility (Canada) or subsidy authorization (US) is recorded, so attendance and space-days by age group can be exported for funding and subsidy reporting.
Reports
Attendance, enrollment, revenue, aged balances, ratios and staff hours, exportable as CSV or PDF.
Multi-site
Owners switch between sites in one tap and see roll-up reports across sites. Data stays separate per site, by role.
