Questions

Is it really free?
Yes, for up to 20 enrolled families, with no time limit. Daycare Premium ($11.99 a month, first month free) is only for more than 20 families or more than one location.
Who pays the fees?
Families, not you. Each invoice carries a Zukeepr service fee of $3 + 0.55% per invoice, starting with the December 1 billing run (currently $3 + 1%), plus payment processing, which is lowest by bank. You receive your full tuition.
Do I have to take new families through Zukeepr?
No. Most daycares use Zukeepr to run the families they already have. A verified listing is optional, and you can pause applications any time.

Built by someone who’s been there. Zukeepr’s founder served as treasurer on a non-profit daycare’s board and built it for the small, owner-run daycare. Every daycare is license-checked before it can take applications.
