Olive Grove ChildcareLMS Platform

Overview

About Olive Grove Childcare

Olive Grove Childcare is a Canadian childcare center that wanted to move beyond fragmented, manual processes. Teachers relied on spreadsheets for attendance and grading, parents received inconsistent updates, and administrative tasks were time-consuming.

They partnered with us to design and build a custom Learning Management System (LMS) that streamlines operations, improves communication, and provides parents with real-time updates. The platform also introduces a subscription-based model that offers families advanced insights into their child's progress.
