Daycare management
Run the center from one director portal: roster and open seats, tours, attendance, calendar, billing, and payments — without spreadsheets or a second system.
Capricent · Daycare & childcare SaaS
The complete platform for daycare and childcare centers
Capricent is SaaS for running the program — not just filling seats. Manage the center, stay organized for licensing, keep parents informed, and grow with a professional website and Google presence.
Built for home daycares and small centers. We reply within one business day.
One platform. Four jobs every center has to do.
Directors already do care, meals, licensing, parent texts, and marketing. Capricent puts the business side in one portal so those jobs aren’t spread across Messenger, spreadsheets, and a half-finished website.
Compliance & organizing
Keep child files, enrollment packets, immunization watches, and licensing reminders in one place so inspection day is a checklist — not a scavenger hunt. Capricent stores and reminds; it does not file with the state.
Parent communication
SMS, email, alerts, progress notes, and parent feedback in one inbox. Families use your Capricent parent area instead of scattered Messenger threads.
Branding & marketing
A parent-facing website, Google Business Profile support, reviews, and (on Growth) content and local SEO — so nearby families find a real program, not only a social profile.
Built for owner-operators — not enterprise IT.
Capricent’s biggest benefit is still simplicity: you run the daycare in short sessions around the day. We help with setup and the online presence parents use to find you — you stay focused on the children.
No tech expertise
Clear screens for families, compliance, inbox, and payments — usable on a phone between activities.
Fewer lost inquiries
Every parent interest has a place and a next step — not only a Messenger thread.
Parents can find you
A real website and Google presence so searching families don’t scroll past you.
What’s included
The tools a daycare actually uses — packaged so a home or small center can run them without hiring a tech team.
Daycare management
Roster, open seats, tours, attendance register, calendar, and billing in one director portal — built for owner-operators and small childcare programs, not an IT department.
Compliance & organizing
Child files, enrollment packets, immunization watches, fire-drill stubs, and a compliance calendar so licensing paperwork lives in one binder — digital. Capricent does not license childcare or file with the state.
Parent communication
Center-branded SMS and email, daycare alerts, child progress notes, and parent feedback. Parents open updates in your Capricent parent area.
Branding & marketing
A full parent-facing website — programs, tours, enroll, and pay — plus Google visibility, reviews, blog, and local landing pages so searching families don’t scroll past you.
Enrollment & waitlist
Every parent inquiry in one pipeline — from first message to enrolled — with waitlist holds and seat tracking, instead of sticky notes and Facebook DMs.
Registration & tuition payments
Collect registration fees and tuition online — linked to the right family — without chasing paper checks alone.
Reviews & reputation
Ask happy parents for reviews and keep an eye on what shows up when new families search for care near you.
Dedicated account manager
On Core and Growth, a Capricent account manager is available every business day for support, site updates, and running the platform — so you’re not figuring it out alone.
Keep parents in the loop
Parent communication is part of the product — alerts, child progress notes, and feedback from the same portal you use to run the center.
Alerts & notifications
Closures, early dismissals, and important reminders — so parents hear from you in one place instead of scattered texts.
Child progress notes
Share updates families can open from your parent portal when you’re ready — without reinventing a classroom app.
Parent feedback
Collect questions and feedback in Capricent so concerns don’t live only in Messenger threads.

Frequently asked questions
What is Capricent?
Capricent is a SaaS platform for daycare and childcare centers. You get one director portal for daycare management (roster, seats, tours, attendance, billing), compliance organizing (child files, packets, licensing reminders), parent communication (SMS, email, alerts, notes, feedback), and branding and marketing (website, Google, reviews). Capricent handles setup, and on Core and Growth a dedicated account manager provides ongoing help. It is software for running and growing a program — not a state licensing agency, and not a classroom photo-feed app.
Is Capricent for home-based daycares?
Yes — home daycare and family childcare are a core audience, along with small centers. Owner-operators usually run everything alone. Capricent is built so you don’t need a front desk, a marketing person, or complicated software. You get a simple portal, a real website parents can use, and (on Core/Growth) a person at Capricent who knows your program.
Who is Capricent for?
Daycare and childcare centers — especially home-based programs, family childcare homes, and small centers — that want one platform to manage the program, stay organized for licensing, talk with parents, and look professional online. You don’t need to hire staff or learn enterprise tools.
Do I need IT skills to use Capricent?
No. If you can check email on your phone, you can use the portal. Reviewing families, confirming visits, messaging parents, checking payments, and opening child files are straightforward screens — not developer tools. Core and Growth add a dedicated account manager for support and updates.
I’m the only person running my daycare. Will this add more work?
It’s designed to reduce scattered work: fewer lost Facebook messages, fewer missed callbacks, and one place for families, paperwork, and parent updates instead of sticky notes and voicemail. Capricent handles setup; you use the portal in short sessions around the day. On Core and Growth, your account manager is available every business day so you’re not stuck figuring out website or listing changes alone.
