Why California Operators Switch

Built for the Realities of Running a Home Daycare

Home daycare providers wear every hat: caregiver, cook, educator, and compliance officer. Generic child care software designed for massive commercial centers leaves home providers drowning in paper and anxiety.

📋

Licensing Anxiety

When a CDSS licensing analyst conducts an unannounced visit, one accidental ratio error or misplaced sign-in binder can trigger severe citations or license revocation.

📶

Spotty Home Wi-Fi

When parents arrive at 7:30 AM and your home internet glitches, cloud-only apps stop working. TinyRoots Pro records check-ins offline with zero data loss.

🩹

Incident & Injury Disputes

Did a toddler arrive with a scratch or get bumped on your playground? Title 22 (CCR § 102424) requires accurate injury logs. TinyRoots logs photos and notes in seconds.

💵

Manual Tuition Math

Calculating half-days, sibling discounts, unexcused vs. sick absences, and late pickup fees in spreadsheets eats up your weekends. TinyRoots automates it all.

California Regulatory Guard

Automated HSC § 1597.465 & Title 22 Ratio Tracking

California law has strict capacity thresholds for Small (up to 8) and Large (up to 14) Family Child Care Homes, including strict caps on infants under 24 months. TinyRoots Pro calculates live ratios continuously.

✓ Real-time alerts when you approach maximum infant or toddler thresholds.
✓ Instant notification when an assistant provider is required on-site.
✓ Exportable compliance documentation ready for state licensing inspections.

Capacity Engine: Large FCCH Rules

• Max Capacity: 14 children
• Infants (<24 mos): 3 / 4 allowed
• Staff Ratio: 2 Qualified Adults on duty
Status: 100% CDSS Compliant

Zero Downtime

Internet goes down? Your daycare doesn't.

Your morning drop-off shouldn't stop just because your Wi-Fi does. Parents can still sign children in and out even during internet outages.

✓ Parents sign in with authorized adult signatures and exact timestamps.
✓ Works seamlessly offline during router reboots or outdoor play.
✓ Automatically synchronizes the moment you reconnect.

Safety & Audits

Photo-Documented Incident Reports (CCR § 102424)

California requires clear documentation of injuries occurring on-site or noted upon arrival. TinyRoots Pro keeps your staff aligned and your license protected.

✓ Categorize incidents (On-site injury, arrived with injury, unknown condition).
✓ Snap and attach encrypted photos directly from your phone or tablet camera.
✓ Director acknowledgment workflow ensures every event is reviewed.

Automated Finances

Tuition Invoicing with Custom Absence Rules

Home daycares need flexible billing rules that reflect how family care actually works: full-day, half-day, vacation credits, and late pick-up penalties.

✓ Automatically applies half-day thresholds based on actual hours clocked.
✓ Configurable policies for unexcused, illness, and vacation absences.
✓ Professional PDF invoices generated automatically for parents.

Automated Monthly Billing

• 12 Active Contracts Calculated
• 2 Medical Absence Credits Applied (0.00)
