How Zukeepr works

Browse Daycares

Search licensed daycares near you. Filter by location, neighborhood, price range, childcare philosophy, and part-time availability to find the perfect fit.

Create Your Free Account & Child Profile

Sign up for free and add your child's details — age, schedule needs, and any special requirements. Your profile is shared with daycares when you apply.

Get Accepted

The daycare reviews your application and accepts your family. You'll be notified instantly and can message them directly.

Pay Your One-Time Fee

A single $10 admin fee is charged when you are accepted. This is the only upfront cost — applying is always free.

Enrolled & Managed

Pay monthly tuition, track attendance, message your daycare, and manage everything from your parent dashboard.

Set up your center

Create your profile, add your rooms and rates, and upload your childcare license for review.

Bring your team and families across

Import your roster or invite the families already enrolled with you, and give each staff member their own login as Staff or Manager.

Run the day

Check children in and out, log meals and naps, send daily report cards, file incident reports with PDF export, keep an events and closures calendar, and print emergency-contact and pickup sheets.

Run the team

Keep your staff list, rooms and staff time off in one place, with automatic reminders before a certification expires. Premium adds coverage planning by room.

Get paid on time

Set each child's rate, part-time included, and monthly billing runs automatically through Stripe. Receipts carry your legal business name, families get tax receipts, and your full tuition is paid out to your connected bank account.

Fill open spots when you have room

Publish your verified listing when you want to take applications, and pause new applications when you are full — your listing stays up. Families in your area apply, you message them in the app, and you choose who joins your program.
