Skooly review
Skooly brings child, family, finance, and staff workflows into one web and mobile platform.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Skooly brings preschool and childcare operations into a cloud-based platform for centers that need to coordinate child records, admissions, attendance, family communication, billing, and staff work. Child profiles can hold family, medical, allergy, dietary, emergency-contact, and developmental information. Admissions tools cover enquiries through registration and deposits, while daily reports include meals, naps, activities, milestones, mood, and photos. Web, iOS, and Android access supports use by staff and families, and parents can use a free mobile app for updates, reports, communication, and payments.
The published annual plans add capabilities in steps. Starter costs $1,490 per year and covers enrollment, attendance, invoicing with card payments, parent communications, daily reports, guided self-setup, and CSV imports. Growth is $2,490 per year and adds automated payment reminders and reconciliation through Collection Suite, plus a check-in/check-out kiosk. Premium costs $3,990 per year; it adds learning modules, child portfolios, developmental assessments and milestones, staff payroll, and multi-branch management. Enterprise offers a custom solution for preschool networks and custom integrations. A 14-day free trial is available, and the listed starting price is $124 per month billed annually.
The breadth is useful for centers that want to connect family-facing care records with staff rosters, qualifications, shifts, attendance, payroll, classroom capacity, age-group assignments, staff-to-child ratios, and resource allocation. Multi-location management can share programs, staff, and reporting. That makes Skooly a better fit for larger or growing centers with operational complexity than for a small provider seeking only attendance or parent messaging. One practical constraint is integrations: custom integrations appear on Enterprise, while none are listed for the other plans. Centers that depend on connecting existing software should assess that fit before choosing a tier.
