What is childcare workforce management software?

Childcare workforce management software helps operators organise educator schedules, classroom deployment, leave, qualifications and relief coverage across one or more centres. Owlly connects those workforce records with daily scheduling and mobile employee workflows.

A leave decision can become a classroom-coverage decision.

Childcare operators manage more than a weekly roster. They need to understand which educators are available, which roles they can perform, where they are deployed and how an absence affects the operating day. For multi-centre groups, central teams need a group view while centre managers need access to their own employees, classrooms and relief options.

Classroom deployment
A standard roster shows when an educator works. The operating team may also need to know where that educator is deployed during the day.
Qualifications and roles
Qualification information can affect which educator is suitable for a role or classroom. The relevant checks must be configured and validated for the deployment.
Relief coverage
A same-day absence can create an immediate need for a suitable replacement.
Multi-centre visibility
Central teams need consistent workforce records without exposing every centre's information to every manager.

From educator record to classroom deployment.
