Optional services when you need more help
Importing your existing spreadsheet of children and families is free. Guided onboarding, team training, enhanced support, and custom capacity are available as quoted add-ons. Get in touch ↓ and we'll scope only what your program needs.
Is Nestlings free for parents?
Always. Providers subscribe; families join with an invite code at no cost.
Do you support GST/HST?
Yes — set your tax rate per program and it's applied to family invoices automatically.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Your data stays exportable and your program keeps read access.
Do you offer onboarding or extra support?
Yes. We import your existing spreadsheet of children and families for free. Guided onboarding, team training, enhanced support, and custom capacity are optional quoted services.
How do families pay my fees?
Directly to you, however you collect today — cash, e-transfer or cheque. You record payments in Nestlings and parents see their invoices and balance. We never take a cut of tuition.
Do my day homes pay if I'm an agency?
No. Your agency plan covers every home under it — homes never pay Nestlings directly.
How do agencies manage their homes?
From the web dashboard — add homes, invite operators, and see each home's roster at a glance.
Is Nestlings Canada-focused?
Yes — CAD pricing, GST/HST support, and workflows that fit provincial licensing across Canada.
