Preschool management software for India's play schools, preschools and daycares
Daily reports & photos to parents, QR kiosk attendance, and fee collection by UPI or card via Razorpay — one childcare management software, with India pricing.
If you run a play school, preschool, daycare, crèche, kindergarten or Montessori house in India, the parents at your gate each morning are trusting you with the most important thing in their lives. What they want back is simple: to see their child’s day. What you’re stuck with instead is paper registers, an Excel sheet of monthly fees, and evenings spent typing the same updates into WhatsApp groups.
Skooly is preschool management software built parent-first. It has run daily communication, check-ins and fee collection for more than 4,950 schools and 19,950 teachers across 10+ countries — including preschools in Chennai, Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru — processing over US$10 million in payments.
We set it up for you, with your real classes and fee schedules.
See your child's day in the app
Parents don't see your admin. They see what reaches their phone.
Daily reports with photos.
Teachers share what each child did, ate and learned — meals, naps, activities — with up to 4 photos per update, straight to the parent app. Photos stay full-quality for 24 months. The evening “what did you do today?” conversation starts with the parent already smiling at a picture.
A preschool app for parents that's free.
Skooly One carries daily updates, announcements, invoices and receipts, on iOS and Android — free for every parent, always.
A portfolio for every child.
Artwork, activities and moments build into a child portfolio over time — something parents keep, and the strongest re-enrolment tool a preschool has.
Milestones parents can see.
Record assessments and developmental milestones, and share progress in a form parents understand. When report time comes, the evidence is already there.
Fee collection by UPI or card via Razorpay
Monthly fee collection is where preschool directors lose their evenings. Skooly generates each month’s fee invoices automatically, sends automated fee reminders before and after the due date, and lets parents pay by UPI or card via Razorpay — in one tap from the invoice or the parent app — with a digital receipt issued the moment the payment lands.
Sibling discounts, partial payments, and automatic late-fee and early-bird computation are built in, and GST is applied at the rate you configure with the breakdown on every invoice. Every payment reconciles against the right invoice on its own, so you see who has paid and who hasn’t in real time — no screenshots, no bank-statement matching.
Attendance with QR kiosk check-in
Check-in and check-out in seconds.
Daily check-ins and check-outs run from a tablet kiosk — QR scan, PIN or name search — or the teacher's app, with a live register of exactly who is in the building.
Safety built for young children.
Pickup and drop-off authorisation means a child only leaves with someone the parent has approved. Health checks (temperature and visual) are recorded at the door, leave applications come in online, and visitor check-ins are logged too.
Reports at every level.
Attendance reporting per child, per class and per centre — ready when parents, staff or inspectors ask.
For one playschool or a chain of centres
Play school, preschool, daycare or crèche, kindergarten, Montessori, nursery, pre-primary — Skooly runs them all on the same platform. For preschool chains with multiple centres, Multi-Location runs every centre from one account: each with its own address, hours, rooms and staff, with centralised oversight and per-centre reporting.
India pricing, live in minutes
India pricing, pay monthly.
India has its own price book, billed monthly or annually and published openly on the pricing page. No quotation meetings, no setup fee.
Free 14-day trial, $0 setup fee.
Every plan starts with a free 14-day trial. Guided setup takes minutes with CSV imports for your existing data — no IT team needed — and the Premium plan includes done-for-you migration of your children's records and fee schedules.
An AI copilot for directors.
Skooly's AI copilot reads your preschool each morning and tells you what needs attention — the fees that are overdue, the enquiries waiting on a reply — with the facts it checked shown alongside. Available as an add-on.
Built on real experience.
Skooly isn't a new app finding its feet on your preschool. Thousands of schools have run on our platform across 10+ countries, including preschools in Chennai, Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru — the edge cases (siblings in different classes, mid-term joiners, pro-rated fees) are already handled.
Starting a preschool? Set up the admin from day one
Opening a preschool means a hundred decisions at once, and the admin usually gets sorted last — a fee register in Excel, attendance on paper, a WhatsApp group per class. Skooly is built for new preschools too: set up your fee schedules, attendance and parent updates before your first intake, so the first parent who enrols pays by UPI, gets a receipt, and sees a daily report from day one.
There’s nothing to install and no IT team needed: guided setup takes minutes, the parent app is free, and the 14-day trial starts whenever you’re ready.
Your data, protected
Skooly encrypts data in transit and at rest, keeps each preschool’s records isolated with role-based access, and never sells or uses parent information for advertising. Parent and child records live in one secure system instead of on paper and personal phones.
