Licensed daycares in British Columbia must keep detailed records under the Child Care Licensing Regulation. We designed DailyDotKids to support those day-to-day record-keeping workflows — so your team spends less time on paperwork and more time with children.
BC records: daily attendance
Teachers log arrivals and pickups through configurable Check-In and Check-Out categories — with timestamps, notes, and who picked up each child. Admins and teachers can review history in Class Record, filtered by date, student, and category.
BC records: emergency contact information
Store emergency contact name, phone, email, and relationship on each child's profile. Parents can keep details current from the Parent app; teachers see contacts on the class roster when they need them.
BC records: allergies and special care instructions
Allergies and other care notes live on the student profile and appear on teacher roster cards — so staff have the right context before logging meals, health events, or daily activities.
BC records: health and medication logs
Centers configure a Health activity category with options such as Symptoms, Medication, Incident, and Routine Check. Each entry is timestamped and tied to the child — a digital supplement to your existing medication and incident procedures, not a replacement for prescribed forms or physician instructions.
BC records: program documentation & parent communication
Meals, naps, photos, moods, diary notes, daily reports, and director bulletins create a clear picture of each child's day — for families in real time and for your team when reviewing past care.
BC operations: staff supervision & presence
Teachers clock in and out before logging activities — on personal phones or shared classroom tablets. Owners and admins review per-teacher time logs and flagged outlier sessions from the admin dashboard.
BC & privacy: protecting children's information
Invitation-only accounts, owner vs. location-admin permissions, and scoped data access help keep sensitive child and family information visible only to the right people. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal information under Canadian privacy law.
BC records: available for licensing inspection
Class Record, class diary, daily reports, and admin roster views give you searchable digital records by date and student. Your center remains responsible for retention practices and any records the platform does not store.
We know licensed centres keep more than daily activity logs. These are the compliance features we are working toward — starting with a secure document vault and expiry reminders:
Until these ship, centres continue to keep those records in their existing files. Pilot partners help us prioritize what to build first.
Software can organize records and reminders — but it cannot replace the licensee, the law, or the work of running a safe centre. No childcare app — including DailyDotKids — can:
Your team remains responsible for policies, training, ratios, safe premises, and every obligation on your facility licence.
Important: DailyDotKids does not provide legal advice and does not certify that your center is compliant. The licensee is always responsible for meeting all requirements under the Community Care and Assisted Living Act, the Child Care Licensing Regulation, and your facility licence.
