Ratio is the all-in-one app for home daycare providers. Daily reports, meal planning, parent billing, lesson plans, CACFP claims — one app, $15/month, zero paperwork.
You wear every hat. Ratio takes the boring ones off your head so you can focus on the kids.
Meals, naps, activities, moods, photos — fill it out once, send to every parent. They get a beautiful update without you texting 8 people individually.
Auto-invoice parents weekly or monthly. They pay in-app. You get paid on time, they get a receipt for tax season. No more chasing checks.
Generate 5-week meal plans, lesson plans, and curriculum — all tailored to your kids’ ages. Less planning at midnight, more being present during the day.
No training. No IT department. Just you, your phone, and 20 minutes.
Names, ages, allergies, parent contacts. Takes about 2 minutes per child.
Turn on CACFP tracking, parent billing, daily reports — whatever fits your daycare. It all works together.
Check kids in, log meals, send parent updates, collect payments. Your first real day feels like your hundredth.
Ratio auto-tracks every meal and generates your monthly reimbursement claim. Here’s what that looks like for 8 kids:
Most providers leave money on the table from incomplete claims. Ratio makes sure you don’t. Not on CACFP? No worries — the other 12 features are why most people sign up.
I used to juggle a spreadsheet, Venmo, group texts, and paper CACFP forms. Now I open one app. My parents are happier, I get paid on time, and I actually have my Sundays back.

No. Ratio works great even without CACFP — you still get daily reports, attendance, billing, lesson plans, and everything else. But if you are enrolled (or want to be), the CACFP tracking alone will save you hours every month and help you claim every dollar you’re owed.
Most home providers are fully set up in under 30 minutes. Add your kids, set up your CACFP info (if applicable), and you’re ready to go. No CSV imports, no IT team, no phone calls.
No problem. The $15/month base covers up to 12 kids. After that, it’s just $1 per additional child per month. A group home daycare with 18 kids would pay $21/month total.
Yes. Parents get their own view where they can see daily updates, photos, and meal info. They can also view and pay invoices directly in the app. No more chasing checks.
