One app, three happy audiences

Built for the people who make your center run

Directors, teachers, and families each get exactly what they need — nothing more, nothing less.

See your child’s day as it happens. Photos, updates, calendars, and invoices arrive in one calm family portal — meaningful moments, never spam.

  • Invoices and payments in one place
From one classroom to nationwide

Safety & peace of mind

Compliance you can show, safety families can feel

LittlesLink was designed around one idea: trust over noise. Every safety-critical moment — arrivals, departures, incidents, ratios — is documented, enforced, and visible to the right people only.

  • Pickup authorization enforced by the app — authorized-pickup lists, guardian-managed permissions, and a complete release history with CSV export.
  • Incident reports with parent sign-off — documented, acknowledged, and on file.
  • Live staff-to-child ratio dashboard — know you're in ratio at a glance (Pro and up).
  • Strict data isolation — each center's data is walled off at the data layer, and parents see only their own children.
  • Hashed kiosk PINs & short-lived tokens — kiosk actions use 90-second encrypted tokens.
  • Audit logging — sensitive administrative actions are tracked, and encrypted off-site backups are part of operations.

Built-in AI assistant

Drafts in seconds. Humans stay in charge.

A built-in drafting assistant, powered by Claude, helps staff write parent updates, newsletters, and documents in seconds.

AI output is always a draft a person approves. It never sends, saves, or changes anything on its own — and child records are not automatically fed to the model. Every plan includes a monthly allowance of AI actions.

Simple, flat pricing

Plans that fit centers of every size

Flat monthly pricing with no per-child fees on Home, Core, and Pro — from in-home programs to multi-site organizations.
