Why directors are stuck
Four apps and a binder,
and you are still the backup.

Most centers run check-in, parent messages, billing and licensing paperwork in different places. The director ends up holding it together by hand.

Ratios checked by walking the hall

Rooms combine at open and close and staff rotate through breaks. The count is right until it isn't.

How Bloomz answers this →
The pickup binder

Authorized adults on a sheet, the custody order in the office. A new face at 5:45 is a judgment call.

How Bloomz answers this →
Chasing tuition by text

Late payments, subsidy copays and late fees tracked across an app and a spreadsheet.

How Bloomz answers this →
The daily sheet, written twice

Bottles and naps on a sticky note, copied onto a sheet at closing while the parent waits.

How Bloomz answers this →
A message they can't read

A translated message, maybe, but the app, the forms and the invoice stay in English.

How Bloomz answers this →
The licensing binder

Drills on the wall, CPR cards in a drawer, sign-in sheets in a box. The visit is a scramble.

Each one walked through the way it plays out at a real center.

vs Competitors
How it plays out

At 6:40 AM two rooms are combined and a teacher is late. The room board counts children against the staff clocked in, and the director sends a floater before the third family arrives.

Questions we hear

Common questions

What is Bloomz for Childcare & Preschools?

One app for childcare centers and preschools: kiosk check-in and pickup, live room ratios, photos and messages, forms, tuition on autopay and licensing records, free for families and translated into 250+ languages.

What does it cost?

Bloomz is quoted per center on a short call, with a Best Price Guarantee: we beat a competitor's written quote by 10%. Payment rates are published: cards 2.95%, ACH 0.6%. Families pay nothing.

Can we switch from Brightwheel or Procare?

Yes. The import from Brightwheel, Procare, Lillio and Kangarootime exports (children, families, pickup lists, health records, tuition plans, past invoices and balances) is rolling out; until then our team helps. Most centers switch at the start of a month.

What doesn't Bloomz do?

CACFP meal claims, developmental assessments and running payroll (staff hours export to your payroll provider is rolling out). Outside Washington, subsidy attendance stays in your state's system.

What do "rolling out" and "coming soon" mean on these pages?

Rolling out: built and merged, and reaches centers with the next Bloomz release. Coming soon: in final development, after that.
