Who owns what
- Management platform (Procare, Brightwheel, Famly, Playground…): billing, attendance, ratios, daily logs, staff scheduling, formal messaging.
- Oyku: the per-child photo and video feed, approvals, consent enforcement, reactions, teacher recognition, Spark ideas, take-home activities, admissions library, yearbook.
How parents experience it
One sentence at intake: ‘Facts and fees here; your child's day there.’ Families learn it in a week. In practice they open the second app far more often — which is the point.
Roster and consent
Export children, rooms and guardians as CSV from your platform; import to Oyku. Record consent tiers once in Oyku, where the sharing happens.
When one tool is enough
Small settings sometimes run Oyku plus a simple invoicing tool and nothing else. Large groups almost always keep the business platform. Honest comparisons: Brightwheel, Procare, Famly.
