Licensed childcare, one platform
Care — simplified, connected, intelligent.
Teachers talk. Caira documents — turning classroom moments into compliant records, curriculum-aligned observations, and parent-ready stories. Directors run the center from the web or their phone; families stay close with narratives, messaging, and Ask Caira.

The challenge
Centers shouldn't choose between teaching and paperwork
Legacy software solves billing. Caira addresses documentation, compliance, communications, and staffing — with grounded AI and mobile-first tools.
-
Documentation burden
Teachers spend too much time typing notes instead of teaching — end-of-day log marathons steal time from children.
-
Parent expectations
Families want frequent, meaningful updates — not generic "your child had a good day" checkmarks.
-
Compliance anxiety
Georgia DECAL inspections need credentials, immunizations, drills, attendance, and meals — often scattered in spreadsheets and paper.
-
Curriculum alignment
Directors must show daily activities connect to GELDS and GOLD, but linking observations to standards is manual and inconsistent.
-
Staffing & ratios
Real-time ratio compliance and schedule coverage are hard to monitor without dedicated tools — especially during busy drop-off.
-
Director mobility
Directors live on the floor, not at a desk — legacy software forces them back to a desktop for approvals, messaging, and oversight.
-
Language barriers
Many Georgia families prefer Spanish; most software treats translation as an afterthought instead of day-one infrastructure.
Your team
Built for directors, teachers, and parents
Three roles, four tailored surfaces — web portal plus director, teacher, and parent mobile apps, with AI assistants for directors and teachers.
Directors
Run the center from the floor
See ratio, compliance, staffing schedules, and classroom activity from the web or your phone. Approve plans, send newsletters, and respond from the director command center — not just the desk.
- DECAL compliance dashboard + one-click export
- Director mobile command center + Assistant
- Live ratio monitoring & AI attendance insights
- Announcements, newsletters & staff comms
- Learning Manager, meal plans & kiosk status

Not another billing app
Administrative-first vs. developmental intelligence-first
Legacy tools were built for enrollment and payments. Caira was built for what happens in the classroom.

Why Caira
Purpose-built for licensed childcare
Developmental intelligence-first — not repurposed business software.
Developmental intelligence first
Not billing software with AI bolted on — Caira starts from what happens in the classroom.
Human review always
AI drafts and summarizes; staff approve every log and narrative before families see it.
One communications platform
Announcements, newsletters, staff comms, parent messaging, and push alerts — not scattered blasts and group texts.
Ask Caira for parents
Parents ask about their child's day and get answers grounded in approved logs — with source observations cited.
Georgia-ready
DECAL compliance, GELDS/GOLD, and CACFP built in — not generic checklists.
Mobile-native for every role
Director, teacher, and parent apps designed for real center workflows — plus a web portal for deep ops.
Enterprise SaaS
Production infrastructure. Privacy by design.
Caira is a cloud-hosted platform for licensed childcare — not a spreadsheet with an AI chatbot bolted on. Security, tenant isolation, and compliance workflows are part of the product.
Google Cloud Platform
Cloud-hosted SaaS on GCP — Cloud Run, managed PostgreSQL, and Firebase — built for production scale, not a side project stack.
Tenant isolation
Every center is logically separated with role-based access and database row-level security — directors, teachers, and parents only see what their role allows.
Encryption & audit
Data encrypted in transit, authentication via Firebase, and AI activity logged with redacted inputs for accountability.
U.S. data residency
Center data is processed and stored in the United States. We do not sell personal information or use child data for advertising.
AI privacy gate
Personal information does not reach AI models in the clear
Every AI request passes through a PII scrubbing gate before it leaves Caira. Identifiers are tokenized or removed; only classroom observations needed for drafting logs and narratives are sent — and always under staff review before parents receive anything.
COPPA-aware design CACFP workflows DECAL-ready records No data selling Human review gate
- 1
Before AI
Child names are replaced with opaque tokens. Emails, phone numbers, and other identifiers are stripped.
- 2
During AI
Only scrubbed classroom observations reach Google Vertex AI — within our GCP environment, not public model training.
- 3
After AI
Responses pass safety checks. Names are restored inside Caira only. Staff review every output before families see it.
