About this app

Child care has never been more connected. Each day at a Kangarootime center begins with checking your child in on your own device. No more standing in line waiting to sign in at a Kiosk or for a clip board. Then receive updates all day with pictures and messages.

Families use Kangarootime to make payments, connect directly to their child's care profile, and manage schedules. It connects childcare professionals to the families they serve.

The Kangarootime 'payment portal' makes payments safe, easy and automatic. We use cutting edge token technology to assure that your payment is simple and easy.
