Preschool & Daycare Software for the Philippines
Give parents a window into their child's day — and run your center's admin, attendance and fee collection from one platform.
If you run a preschool, daycare center, kindergarten or nursery in the Philippines, 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 know their child is safe, happy and learning. What you’re stuck with instead is paper logbooks, a tuition spreadsheet, and evenings spent typing the same updates into Messenger group chats.
Skooly is preschool management software built parent-first. It runs daily communication, check-ins and fee collection for more than 4,950 schools and 19,950 teachers across 10+ countries, processing over US$10 million in payments — with local fee collection in the Philippines through Xendit.
We set it up for you, with your real classes and fee schedules.
The parent experience is the product
Parents don't see your admin. They see what reaches their phone.
Daily reports and photos.
Teachers share what each child did, ate and learned, with up to 4 photos per update, straight to the parent's app. Photos stay full-quality for 24 months. The 5pm “how was her day?” conversation starts with the parent already smiling at a picture.
A portfolio for every child.
Artwork, activities and moments build into a child portfolio over time — something parents keep, and the strongest re-enrollment tool a center has.
Milestones parents can see.
Record assessments and developmental milestones, and share progress in a form parents understand. When report-card time comes, the evidence is already there.
Announcements without the noise.
Newsletters, reminders and notices go through one app, not six group chats — and every parent actually receives them.
Collect fees via GCash, Maya and bank transfer
Fees are where center owners lose their evenings. Skooly generates recurring fee invoices automatically, sends reminders before and after the due date, and lets parents pay online through the Xendit gateway — directly from the invoice or the parent app — with digital receipts issued instantly. Depending on the channels enabled in your Xendit account, parents can pay by GCash, Maya, bank transfer or card.
Sibling discounts, subsidies, partial payments, and automatic late-fee and early-bird computation are all built in. Every payment reconciles against the right invoice on its own, so you see who has paid and who hasn’t in real time, without matching bank statements or payment screenshots by hand.
Safe, simple attendance
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 authorization 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 center — ready when parents, staff or inspectors ask.
An AI copilot for the work nobody has time for
Skooly’s AI copilot reads your center each morning and tells you what needs attention — the fees that are overdue, the inquiries waiting on a reply — with the facts it checked shown alongside, so you can act on it in minutes instead of digging through reports. It is available as an add-on.
Bring everything across — we move it for you
The reason centers stay on spreadsheets is rarely that they like them. It’s that moving looks like a month of evenings. So we do it: bring the Excel sheets, the group chats and the paper logbook, and on premium plans our team migrates your children’s records and fee schedules for you.
That happens during your free 14-day pilot, before you decide to pay — so what you evaluate is Skooly running your actual center, with your children and your fees, not an empty demo account.
Your data, protected
Skooly encrypts data in transit and at rest, keeps each center’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.

Frequently asked questions
It's a system that runs the daily operations of a preschool, daycare center, kindergarten, nursery or child development center — parent communication, daily reports, attendance and safe check-in/out, fee invoicing and collection, and child records — in one platform, replacing paper logbooks, spreadsheets and Messenger group chats.
