Built for Canada, not adapted to it
Most childcare software sold in Canada is an American product with a currency toggle bolted on. Nestlings starts from the Canadian reality — CAD pricing, GST/HST, CWELCC subsidy reporting, and data that stays in Canada.
Running a family day-home agency? See published agency pricing on the pricing page ↓.
Published pricing, no sales call
Day home pricing is on the page, and family day-home agencies get published per-tier pricing too — see the plans on our pricing page.
CAD pricing, no currency toggle
Every plan, invoice, and receipt is priced and totalled in Canadian dollars from day one — not USD converted at checkout.
GST/HST as a first-class setting
Set your program’s tax rate once; it applies to every family invoice automatically.
CWELCC / subsidy claim reporting
Monthly claim summaries (enrolled/attended days, hours, fees) plus a configurable provincial fee-cap check — see the features page.
Annual child-care tax receipts
One printable receipt per child, addressed to the primary guardian, the format Canadian parents need every February.
Data residency in Canada
Hosted in our provider’s Canada Central region — not routed through US-based infrastructure by default.
PIPEDA-aligned privacy practices
Parents see only their own child. Photos are private, served through short-lived signed links, never public URLs.
Agency oversight (one subscription, many day homes)
A family day-home agency runs many licensed homes under one plan while each operator keeps their own daily workspace, phone app included — the closest comparable is TimeSavr, and few US-built apps model this at all.
French interface
On the roadmap for parent-facing screens first — most US competitors don’t support French at all.
“Typical US app” reflects the general pattern among childcare platforms built primarily for the US market, based on their public marketing and help documentation as of 2026 — not a claim about any single named competitor. TimeSavr is named once above because it's a Canadian day-home agency tool, not a “typical US app.” Provincial rules (like CWELCC fee caps) change over time; Nestlings reports your records as-is and never claims compliance on your behalf.
