Childcare · the problem
Three problems we solve.
What goes wrong in childcare & early learning when checks live on paper and alerts depend on someone noticing.
-
Allergies with no margin for error
Every child's allergies and dietary needs have to reach the plate, every day, through every staff change.
-
Checks that live on a clipboard
Fridge temperatures and cleaning get done, but proving they were done relies on paper that goes missing.
-
One cook, many jobs
In a small kitchen the cook also orders, cleans and plans. Records are the first thing to slip.
