MyKidReports review
Affordable childcare software covering enrollment, billing, attendance, communication, and learning.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MyKidReports is childcare management software for daycare centers, preschools, home-based providers, and multi-site groups. It brings enrollment and admissions, billing, attendance, digital check-in and check-out, family messaging, daily activity reports, lesson planning, observations, assessments, staff scheduling, forms, and reporting into one system. Web access is paired with iOS and Android apps, giving centers and families mobile options alongside the main application.
Pricing is structured for organizations that want to start with basic operations and add broader administration as needed. MKR Lite is free forever and includes daily activities, attendance, and messaging, with coverage for up to five children. MKR Pro costs $0.99 per child per month, billed monthly, and adds billing and payments, enrollment and admission, staff scheduling, and custom reports and analytics. The paid plan is billed in tiers of 10 enrolled children. Enterprise adds multi-center support, dedicated onboarding, and priority support at custom pricing, making it the relevant tier for larger or multi-location groups.
The product’s breadth is its main distinction: operational workflows, family communication, learning records, staffing, forms, and analytics sit within the same childcare-focused platform. Integrations with QuickBooks, Stripe, and Deluxe support accounting, payments, and related workflows. Centers seeking a low-cost starting point with more than basic attendance and messaging should consider MKR Pro, while smaller providers can begin with MKR Lite. Organizations that need multi-center capabilities should evaluate Enterprise and its custom commercial structure.
