No surprises. Pricing is posted publicly: $100/month includes your first 5 children and every feature, then $7/month per additional child. When enrollment changes, your bill adjusts by exactly that amount — and you see the updated price before confirming. No tiers, no add-on modules, no renegotiation.
For nonprofit programs
Childcare software that respects a nonprofit budget.
One flat posted price you can plan a fiscal year around. Audit-ready records for boards and funders. And every family gets full access — at no extra cost to them.
Mission-driven constraints
Nonprofits answer to more people with fewer hands.
A nonprofit childcare program carries all the operational weight of any center — plus a board, funders, and a budget approved months in advance.
A budget set a year in advance
Nonprofit budgets are approved before the year begins. A software bill that balloons mid-year — a surprise add-on, a forced tier upgrade — is not an inconvenience, it is a board conversation.
Accountability to boards and funders
Grants, boards, and licensing agencies all want the same thing: clear records of attendance, incidents, and operations that someone can verify without taking your word for it.
A small team wearing every hat
The person running enrollment is often also doing payroll, licensing prep, and the newsletter. Every hour saved on administration is an hour returned to the mission.
Families who all deserve the same experience
A mission-driven program cannot have two classes of family — those who pay for the “premium app experience” and those who don’t. Access has to be equal.
How DayLynx helps
Predictable costs. Verifiable records. Less admin.
Everything below is included in the one flat price — the same features every DayLynx customer gets, because we do not gate features behind tiers.
A price you can put in the budget line
DayLynx pricing is posted publicly: $100/month includes your first 5 children, then $7/child. Every feature is included for every customer — no add-on modules, no premium tiers, no setup fees, and every future update included. You can compute next year’s software line to the dollar.
Records that are ready for review
Every action is logged automatically in a searchable audit trail. Attendance and compliance reports export as PDF or CSV in seconds, automated daily exports run on their own, and attendance corrections carry a clear, auditable history. When a funder or auditor asks, you export instead of reconstruct.
Admin work sized for a small team
Enrollment packets that parents finish and sign from their phone. Bulk import instead of weekend data entry. Certification tracking that warns you before anything expires. Subsidy voucher and co-pay tracking that nudges you before deadlines. Analytics in plain English, so trends do not require a data analyst.
Every family gets the full experience
The parent portal, direct messaging, nightly daily report cards, and consent-based photo sharing are included for every family at no extra cost to them. Role-based access and two-factor authentication protect it all — the families who trust you deserve nothing less.
Getting started
A rollout your small team can actually do.
Setup is self-serve inside the 30-day free trial — no setup fees, no implementation contract, nothing to install.
Set up your program
Create your classrooms or groups with capacities and staff assignments. Bulk import with duplicate-catching brings your current roster in from a spreadsheet.
Add your team with the right roles
Role-based access means your part-time aide, program lead, and executive director each see exactly what their role requires — with every action logged.
Invite families at no cost to them
Families securely activate their own accounts from an invitation, guided by a welcome wizard. Portal access is part of your subscription — never a charge to families.
Run daily operations
PIN check-in, live headcounts, meal and medication logging, allergy alerts where staff need them, and messages flowing between your team and families.
Report to the people you answer to
Export attendance and compliance reports for the board packet, review plain-English analytics on enrollment and attendance trends, and lean on the audit trail whenever verification is needed.

Questions from nonprofit leaders
Nonprofit childcare FAQs
Yes. Attendance and compliance reports export as PDF and CSV in seconds, automated daily exports keep records current without anyone remembering to run them, and the audit trail logs every action — who did what, when, and to which record. When someone asks you to show your work, the answer is an export away.
No. The parent portal, messaging, daily report cards, and photo sharing are all part of your subscription — there is no separate charge for families and no premium family tier. Every family in your program gets the same access.
Spend the budget on the mission, not the software.
Try every feature free for 30 days — no credit card charged until the trial ends. Then it's $100/month for your first 5 children and $7/child after, with every feature included.
