Tap a PIN, scan a card, or just walk up — the kiosk recognizes returning families.

Meals, naps, diapers, photos — each one is a single tap while parents watch live.
💸
Exact hours become per-child invoices, paid online, synced to your books.
Everything included
Kiosk PIN, family QR cards, rotating venue QR for any phone, NFC tags — and presence detection that greets returning families by name before they touch the screen.
Stations for meals, naps with auto-duration, diapers, meds, moods, and incidents with body maps. Smart time chips: now / 5m / 15m / 1h ago.
A date-scrollable timeline of the whole day, push the second their kid checks in, two-way messaging, photos, and every invoice in one place.

Invoices and payments flow automatically into QuickBooks Online and Zoho Books sync — the only childcare tool with native Zoho support.
Birthday parties and drop-in events: roster batch check-in, guest kids with allergies and pickup person, flat per-kid rates, one-click invoicing.
Yom Tov, fast days, Chanukah, and Purim appear automatically (diaspora observance) with one-click closures — parents get an email reminder 2 days ahead.
Clock-in and timesheets, live kids:staff ratio alerts, immunization tracking with overdue flags, pickup signatures, and a full audit trail.
About KiddoDesk
It happens at the front door at 7:45am with a toddler on your hip, at the changing table, and at a birthday party with twelve guest kids arriving at once. Most childcare software was built for an office manager. KiddoDesk, by Turn Byte LLC, was built for those moments — big buttons, one-tap stations, a kiosk that greets families as they walk up, and invoices that write themselves from actual attendance.
And a promise: children's records exist here for exactly one purpose — helping their caregivers and parents. We never sell data and never advertise to children.
🛡️
Your family's safety is our top priority — audited pickups, signatures, single-use codes.
🧡
Designed for babysitters, parents, and daycares — not office managers.
☀️
Powerful tools that make a whole day effortless — in taps, not paperwork.
🤝
A small team that answers its own support email, every day.
