Procare is a long-established childcare business platform, strongest for complex tuition, subsidies, payroll exports and multi-site reporting. Its family engagement tools exist but are typically described as a module within a business system. Oyku is the opposite shape: nothing for the back office, everything for the parent's daily experience. Many Procare centers add a dedicated parent-communication layer — Oyku is built to be that layer.
Oyku exists only to make a family feel close to their child's day. One feed, one child, daily moments, reactions, a yearly book.
Capture happens mid-play in ten seconds on any phone. No forms, no daily sheets, no text.
Admins approve with one tap; consent rules shield opted-out children everywhere automatically.
Approved moments become social content; parent reactions land on the teacher's screen; directors pin badges.
Under $10 per child per month, free pilot classroom, no contract.

A 20-minute call. A free pilot classroom. No card, no contract.
No. Oyku is designed to sit beside a business platform like Procare. You keep billing and attendance where they are and add Oyku as the family-facing layer.
In practice, no. One app is for logistics and payments; the other is for their child's photos and videos. Families open the second one far more often — that's the point.
Yes — a simple CSV of children, rooms and parent contacts is enough. Invite codes go out by SMS, WhatsApp or email.
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.
How childcare and preschool app pricing works — per child per month, per center, per year — what's typically gated behind tiers, hidden costs to model, and a simple way to compare total cost.
Families rarely leave a daycare over price. They leave over uncertainty. The retention case for daily, per-child visibility — with the survey evidence and a simple metric to track.
