A smoother school day. Better-connected families.

Bring check-in and check-out, attendance, family messages, forms and tuition into one welcoming place — so your team can focus on the children in front of them.

For daycare and preschool teams and the families they serve.

One welcoming place for the whole school day.

CedarBell is an installable web app for daycares and preschools. Families request arrivals and pickups and staff confirm them; teachers share the day; the office runs attendance, forms and tuition — all under your school’s own name and colours.

Features

Everything a school day asks of you, in one place.

  • Arrivals and departures

    Families request check-in or pickup; authorized staff confirm the handoff.

  • Attendance at a glance

    See who is present right now and review attendance records by day, room or child.

  • Connected families

    Messages, announcements and everyday classroom updates, all in one feed families actually read.

  • Forms without the paper chase

    Collect information, request signatures and track who has completed what.

  • Tuition made clearer

    Present invoices, payments and autopay so families always know where they stand.

  • A school identity families recognize

    Your school name, logo and one of four curated themes — Cedar Garden, Sunshine Studio, Heritage Blue or Maple Rose.

Plan availability varies — see pricing.

Who it’s for

For daycare and preschool

Daily routines, family connection, attendance, forms and tuition — built around the way a room of young children actually runs, from the 7:00 AM arrival to the last pickup.

  • Owners and directors — attendance, forms and tuition in one place.
  • Teachers — share the day and confirm every handoff from the room.
  • Families — request arrivals and pickups, follow the day, sign and pay.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Set up your school

    Add your school identity, select a curated theme and configure preferences like hours and rooms.

  2. Step 2: Invite your community

    Connect staff and families with the access that fits their role — teachers see their room, families see their children.

  3. Step 3: Bring the day together

    Manage arrivals, updates, forms and tuition in one place, with staff confirming every handoff.

Questions, answered plainly.

Who is CedarBell for?
Daycares and preschools — the owners and directors who run them, the teachers in the rooms, and the families they serve.
Can families use it on a phone?
Yes. CedarBell is a mobile-friendly web app that families can install to their home screen from the browser. There is no separate app-store download.
How does staff-confirmed check-in and check-out work?
A family requests check-in or pickup from their phone or the door kiosk. A member of your staff confirms the handoff on their end; only then is the child’s status recorded. A location check or family PIN alone never completes a check-in.
Can we use our own logo and colours?
Yes. Your school name and logo lead inside the app, and you choose one of four curated school-wide themes: Cedar Garden, Sunshine Studio, Heritage Blue or Maple Rose.
How much room is there for photos and files?
Classroom photos are unlimited on every plan. They stay for the window your school chooses (6, 12 or 24 months), and families are told before any are removed and can save them any time. Every plan also includes dedicated storage for keepsakes and files: event albums you keep for good, your handbook and policies, and children’s health forms. Need more room, or want to keep every photo? Add an optional storage pack.
Is text messaging (SMS) included?
No plan includes SMS. If you want it, add an optional school-wide SMS pack of 500, 750 or 1,000 texts a month. In-app messages, announcements and email are part of every plan.
Is there a free plan?
No. Plans start at $49 a month and are billed monthly, with unlimited staff and family access on every plan. Book a guided demo and we’ll help you choose the plan that fits.

Make room for a better school day.
