Lillio (formerly HiMama) is a well-reviewed childcare app known for daily reports, developmental milestone tracking and curriculum tools, with billing and admin features layered on. Oyku is not a daily-report or assessment tool. It is the emotional layer: a private, per-child photo and video feed with school approval, teacher recognition, social content and a printed yearly book — usually running beside whatever handles reports and billing.
Oyku sends a parent the photo of the block tower, not a form saying ‘Fine motor: observed’. The feeling arrives first; the report can follow from your existing tool.
Capture is a photo, taps on the children and an activity tag. Teachers keep using things that never ask for a paragraph.
Nothing reaches a parent until an admin taps approve. Per-child consent is enforced automatically.
Reactions land on the teacher's screen; directors pin badges; approved moments become a consent-checked social library.
Each family receives a hardback of their child's most loved moments with real teacher captions.

A 20-minute call. A free pilot classroom. No card, no contract.
Oyku replaces the emotional job of the daily report — ‘show me my child was happy’ — not the operational log. Some centers drop written daily sheets after a term; others keep them in their existing tool and use Oyku for moments.
Oyku tags moments by activity domain (literacy, motor, social-emotional, creative and so on) and exports per-child summaries. It is not a formal assessment system and doesn't pretend to be.
Yes. English UI today, with additional languages on the roadmap. Consent workflows map to provincial photo-release expectations.

A practical checklist for choosing a daycare or childcare app — what to ask about the parent experience, teacher workload, consent, approvals, pricing and data — with the trade-offs vendors won't mention.
