kreshe · for South African crèches
Manage your crèche from one app
Your fees, your register, your messages to parents, your staff, your transport. Everything you run the crèche with, in one place, under your own name.
the reality
you didn't open a crèche to spend sunday chasing fees
Three jobs eat a principal's week. None of them is looking after children.
the sunday-night fee chase
Reminder texts typed one by one, to parents you'll greet at the gate on Monday. They mean to pay. You still have to ask.
attendance in a paper book
By Friday you can't remember who came on Tuesday. The audit means 200 pages.
receipts, every single month
"Did you get my EFT?" "Can you send a receipt?" Every payment, a back-and-forth.
/ i. and iii. end the same way: switch on online payments and the money conversation stops being yours. how that works
one app, the whole day
the office work, doing itself
Watch the app do four jobs that used to eat the day. These are working sketches; the real app does exactly this.
the register fills itself in
Everyone taps their own 5-digit code at the gate tablet. The code changes every minute, and the same code checks in and checks out. Your register fills in live.
- / Parent code checks their children in and out
- / Unmarked is a dash, not absent: the day closes at 14:30
- / Public holidays fill themselves in
fees that arrive without asking
Parents pay online in the app: the money arrives already matched to the right child, and the receipt sends itself. You never type another reminder. Cash and EFT keep working too; upload the bank statement and the app matches those lines with a confidence level, nothing counting until you confirm.
- / Invoices made for you, monthly, as branded PDFs, sent by email
- / Online payments cost 1% per transaction, taken at settlement, never invoiced
- / Snap a receipt and the app reads the amount, VAT, date, supplier
one message, every parent
Write it once and send it to one parent, a class, or the whole school. It lands as an SMS, so it reaches every family on any phone. No app download needed.
- / Emergency, reminder, or announcement
- / Parents who have the app see it there too
- / Invoices and receipts go by email
the audit stops costing a weekend
Registers, fee statements and staff lists download as PDFs in the format SARS and DSD ask for. Every expense keeps its receipt; nothing can be quietly rewritten.
- / Attendance register, DSD format
- / Income and expense, SARS-ready
- / Staff list with clearances
every role
the same app runs both sides of the gate
my class, live
Clock in with a code, mark the room's register, jot learning notes that reach the parent.
stay close
A drop-off code, the week at a glance, fees paid online, report an absence in advance.
the route, in hand
Tap each child at pickup and drop-off; the parent gets an SMS at every step.
one tablet
Everyone signs in with their own 5-digit code. It refreshes every minute. Codes flow inward only.
curriculum · our newest feature
young children are not graded. they are observed
Teachers note what a child does in everyday play, and can capture the moment as a photo or a short video, right in the app. One note is read three ways.
