Childcare & Preschool Performance Dashboards, Reporting & Analytics

See occupancy, staffing costs, revenue, inquiries and performance across your childcare settings in one clear management dashboard.

Falgoon helps childcare centers and preschools replace fragmented spreadsheets and time-consuming reports with practical dashboards designed around the way early education businesses operate.

For independent daycares, large single-site centers, and multi-site childcare groups across the US.

A Clearer View of Your Childcare Business

Running a successful center requires decisions about occupancy, staffing, fees, funded hours, inquiries and costs.

However, the information needed to make those decisions is often spread across childcare management software, accounting systems and separate spreadsheets. This can make it difficult to answer important questions quickly:

  • Which locations, rooms and sessions have spare capacity?
  • How do staffing costs compare with occupancy and income?
  • Which centers are performing above or below target?
  • How much income comes from funded and privately paid places?
  • Are inquiries converting into tours and enrollments?
  • Which fees are overdue?
  • What will occupancy look like over the coming months?

Falgoon brings your key information together into a clear and practical reporting solution, helping owners and directors understand performance without spending hours preparing reports manually.

Childcare Analytics Dashboard Overview

Common Reporting Challenges for Childcare Centers

Many childcare operators struggle to get a unified view of their data.

Fragmented Systems

Occupancy, child records, staffing, invoices, inquiries and financial info are stored in several different places.

Time-Consuming Spreadsheets

Directors spend hours copying, cleaning and combining information each week or month.

Limited Multi-Site Visibility

Childcare groups find it difficult to compare branches consistently or identify underperforming settings quickly.

Blind Staffing Decisions

Staffing requirements are difficult to balance accurately against child numbers, room capacity, and income.

Delayed Management Info

By the time monthly reports are prepared, the opportunity to address a cash-flow problem may have passed.

Inconsistent Measures

Different branches calculate occupancy, inquiries or costs differently, making reliable comparison difficult.

How Better Reporting Supports You

Save Management Time

Improve Accountability

Give individual center directors clear visibility of their own targets and branch performance.

Make Earlier Decisions

Spot falling occupancy, rising staffing costs, or growing fee arrears before they become larger problems.

Support Growth

Use consistent data when opening new locations, expanding rooms, or reviewing acquisition opportunities.

Who Is This Service For?

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the dashboard replace our childcare management software?
No. The dashboard is intended to complement your existing childcare management, accounting and operational systems. It brings selected information together specifically for analysis and high-level management reporting.
Can you work with our existing childcare software?
This depends on how the system makes data available. Falgoon may be able to use a direct data connection, an API, scheduled reports, or manually exported Excel and CSV files.
Do we need to be using Microsoft Power BI already?
No. Falgoon can advise on the appropriate Power BI setup, licensing, and access arrangements based on the number of users and how the dashboard will be shared within your business.
Can we begin with one center location?
Yes. A childcare group can begin with one location or one reporting area as a pilot project before extending the solution across additional settings.
Can the dashboard show different info to different managers?
Yes. Where appropriate, dashboard access can be designed using row-level security so that senior managers see consolidated group information while center directors only see their own setting.
Do our staff need technical knowledge?
No. The dashboard is designed for business users. Falgoon also provides training and guidance as part of the handover process.
How much does a childcare dashboard cost?
The cost depends on the number of settings, data sources, dashboard pages, required calculations, and level of automation. Following an initial review, Falgoon provides a clearly defined proposal and fixed quotation. Pilot childcare dashboards are available from $1,250.
How do you protect childcare data?
Falgoon agrees appropriate access, storage, and handling arrangements with each client. Only the information required for reporting is used, and access is restricted to authorized users. Specific arrangements depend on the hosting method and project scope.
