Childcare & Kindergartens
Keep parents, staff, and children informed throughout the day. Display activity schedules, today's meal menu, upcoming birthdays, and important notices - all from one dashboard, with no design experience required.
Four Display Modes
Each room can show a different mode - or all four at different times of day - without any extra setup.
Post center-wide notices with urgency levels - Info, Warning, or Urgent. Auto-expiry removes announcements automatically so boards stay current.
Show each room's activity list with start and end times, emoji icons, and per-entry color coding. Filters automatically to today's day of week.
Display today's meals - breakfast, snack, lunch, afternoon snack - with color-coded cards, allergen badges, and optional photos.
Cycles through each room's upcoming birthdays. Today's birthday gets an automatic highlight with animation - no manual update required.

Key capabilities
How centers use it
A daycare director posts a "Water Play Day - please bring extra clothes" notice marked Warning. Within 30 seconds it appears on every hallway and entrance screen.
The kitchen manager updates Thursday's lunch menu from their phone. Each classroom TV picks up the change automatically within the next heartbeat cycle - no USB drives, no IT call.
Each classroom screen shows that room's own activity schedule and birthday board. A child whose birthday is today sees their name animated on the room display when they arrive in the morning.
How it works
Update once - every screen refreshes automatically.
