Built for the people who run the day

My Little Peas is childcare management software for US daycares, preschools, and early-childhood programs. We bring daily activity tracking, parent and guardian updates, billing, and staff and room operations into one system — so directors stay organized, teachers spend less time on paperwork, and parents can see how their child’s day is going.

It’s built for single-site and growing multi-room programs that want one platform instead of a stack of disconnected tools. We built it around a simple belief: software for childcare should be modern, honest about what it costs, and designed with the trust and privacy that caring for children demands.

Closing the gap between disconnected tools

Most centers run their day across a patchwork of disconnected tools — one app for updates, another for billing, and paper logs for everything in between. Nothing talks to each other, families feel out of the loop, and directors spend evenings reconciling invoices by hand.

We started My Little Peas to close that gap: connecting the classroom floor to the front office to the family in a single platform purpose-built for the full daycare workflow, from a prospect’s first inquiry through enrollment and graduation. The payoff is practical — one source of truth for every child and family record, less re-keying between tools, and new staff onboarded with role-based invitations.

“Every childcare program — however small — deserves modern software, and every family deserves to see their child’s day.”

What we hold ourselves to

Honesty first

We publish our prices, claim only what we’ve built, and say plainly what’s still on the roadmap.

The day comes first

We build for the classroom floor and the front office — not for a sales demo.

Trust by design

Children’s information is a responsibility. Security and privacy shape every feature we ship.

Families in the loop

Parents are part of the day. Updates are included in the core product, never an upsell.

Simple over sprawling

Everything the day actually needs, and nothing it doesn’t. Focus is a feature.

What My Little Peas childcare software does

My Little Peas unifies the moving parts of a center into one place:

  • Daily activity tracking — meals, naps, diapering, medications, incidents, and photos — captured quickly on a phone or tablet.
  • Parent and guardian updates through activity feeds and a self-serve guardian portal, with email notifications and a daily digest. Activity feeds and the guardian portal are included on every plan, not sold as a separate add-on.
  • Subscription billing through Stripe — monthly or annual, with no quote wall.
  • Staff management with invitations and role-based access.
  • Room and classroom management, including per-room capacity tracking.
  • An enrollment lifecycle that tracks families from prospect to enrolled to graduated.

Our approach to data security and privacy

We describe only what the platform actually does — never aspirational claims dressed up as fact. Today that means data encrypted in transit and at rest, role-based access control so people see only what their role allows, and email verification for accounts. We store your childcare records in secure data centers located in the United States. Where we rely on trusted service providers such as Stripe to operate the platform, we require contractual data-protection commitments; see our Privacy Policy for details. My Little Peas is intended for use by childcare professionals and guardians — adults — and is not directed to children under 13.

  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • Records stored in the United States
  • Role-based access control
  • Email verification for accounts

On records, our posture is explicit deletion: records are deleted on your request or at the end of our relationship — never silently or arbitrarily. Retention periods and your deletion rights are described in our Privacy Policy.

We are intentionally careful about certifications. We do not claim SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO, or third-party audit certifications. Where we pursue them, we’ll say so plainly as roadmap items rather than imply we already hold them. Privacy and compliance details on this site are informational and are governed by our published Privacy Policy and Terms.

Built and hosted in the US for US childcare

My Little Peas is a US-focused platform, purpose-built around the realities of US childcare programs and the sensitivity of children’s data. For directors weighing platforms built for other markets, a US-based focus and childcare-first design are core to who we are — not features bolted on later. We store your records in the United States; see our Privacy Policy for how we handle data with the service providers we rely on.

Software, not a substitute for licensed care

My Little Peas is a software platform. It is not a licensed childcare provider, and using it does not, on its own, satisfy state licensing, staff-to-child ratio, background-check, mandatory-reporting, or record-keeping requirements. Our tools — including per-room capacity tracking and medication and incident logging — are record-keeping and informational aids that support your team’s judgment; they do not replace it. Childcare providers remain solely responsible for the care, safety, supervision, and regulatory compliance of their programs. Information on this site is informational only and is not legal advice.
