Tools for home providers

Teacher. Cook. Accountant. Boss. You.

You wear every hat. Ratio takes the boring ones off your head so you can focus on the kids.

Daily reports parents actually love

Record meals, naps, activities and private photos for each child. Review and publish the report to their linked family in the parent app.

Keep invoices organized

Prepare and review invoices. Parent payment options depend on your connected payment account; automatic billing and notification delivery are not yet enabled.

Plan your week

Organize lesson plans and meal menus. Review generated suggestions for your children, allergies and food-program requirements before using them.

HOW IT WORKS

Start with your daily routine.

Add your provider details, review your classroom and child records, then try the daily workflow.

1

Add your kids

Review names, ages, allergies and the correct family contacts for each child.

2

Pick what you need

Begin with attendance and daily reports. Review food-program settings with your sponsor before preparing a claim.

3

Start your Monday

Check children in, confirm meals served and review daily reports before publishing family updates.

CACFP PREPARATION

Prepare the records. Review with your sponsor.

Use attendance and confirmed meal records to prepare Heartland-format claim documents. Providers must review the records and use their sponsor's accepted signature and delivery process.

Ratio does not submit claims automatically or guarantee reimbursement. Heartland's acceptance of electronic signatures and delivery is still being verified with a home provider.

Built around your daily routine
WHY WE BUILT THIS

Home daycare providers deserve real software.

Running care from your home means balancing children, family communication and records throughout the day.

Youre one person. You cook the meals, change the diapers, plan the lessons, and file the CACFP paperwork at midnight. We built Ratio Home because you deserve a tool that actually fits how you work not one that makes you pretend youre a center.

FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

Do I need to be enrolled in CACFP to use Ratio?

No. Attendance, daily reports and lesson planning can be used without CACFP. Food-program reimbursement and accepted submission methods depend on your sponsor.

How long does setup take?

Setup depends on your records and family contacts. Begin with provider and child details, then review the first daily report and food-program settings before relying on them.

Does the subscription price set my licensed capacity?

No. The current Home checkout uses a flat monthly subscription, without per-child charges. Your family or group license and approved capacity determine how many children you may care for.

Can parents see daily reports and pay through the app?

Linked parents can view published daily reports and private photos. Invoice payments require a configured payment account; automatic billing and message delivery are not currently enabled.

Is there a contract?

No. Month to month. Cancel anytime. We keep your business by being useful, not by locking you in.

You built a daycare. Now run it like you mean it.

Bring daily records and family updates together, and prepare food-program records for review.
