MyKidReports review

MyKidReports earns its place with the clearest pricing in the category and a feature list that rivals the quote-based platforms. The free MKR Lite plan covers up to 5 children with one staff account and one room, and includes the parent app, messaging, daily activities, digital check-in and attendance reports. MKR Pro costs $0.99 per child per month for 1 to 100 children, billed in tiers of 10, so a 30-child center pays $29.70 a month. Pro unlocks every module: billing with autopay, split payments, sibling billing and failed-payment retry, a QR check-in kiosk with ratio alerts, drop-in care booking, staff scheduling with a payroll report, admissions with tour booking and enrollment packets, fillable PDFs, assessments against state standards and CACFP menus. Payment fees are published at 2.79% per card payment and $0.49 per ACH payment, and the center decides who pays them. Centers with more than 100 children or several locations move to a custom Enterprise quote, and the website builder and marketing tools cost extra.
