Read more FAQs
Does ChildFriendly Pro work for Northwest Territories child care centers?

Yes. ChildFriendly Pro calculates Child Care Fee Reduction (CCFR) amounts automatically, allocates NWT Child Care Subsidy credits to family ledgers and collects parent portions by PAD or card. It monitors live headcounts against Northwest Territories licensing ratios, recalculates mixed-age ratios as rosters change, and exports attendance logs formatted for territorial licensing inspections, which matters for small teams running programs across big distances.

Does ChildFriendly Pro support the NWT Child Care Fee Reduction subsidy?

Yes. ChildFriendly Pro automates NWT Child Care Fee Reduction (CCFR) subsidy calculations, dividing parent fees into territorial subsidy portions, territorial grants, and remaining parent portions on family statements.

How does ChildFriendly Pro calculate mixed-age ratios under NWT licensing rules?

When children of varying ages share a classroom space, ChildFriendly Pro dynamically recalculates the required staff ratio based on the youngest child present, alerting administrators if staffing levels fall below legal limits.

Does ChildFriendly Pro track NWT staff background checks?

Yes. ChildFriendly Pro's expiries dashboard tracks Northwest Territories criminal record checks, vulnerable sector checks, and first aid certifications, sending proactive warnings before credentials lapse.

Does ChildFriendly Pro support Northwest Territories licensing inspections?

Yes. ChildFriendly Pro generates instant digital attendance reports, timestamped sign-in logs, and live staff-to-child ratio records formatted specifically for NWT child care licensing officers.

Can NWT parents complete enrolment forms online?

Yes. ChildFriendly Pro's customizable form builder lets centers collect digital applications, parent signatures on policies, immunization records, and banking information online.

Can parents register online?

Yes. Families complete registration, emergency contacts, medical authorizations and e-signed agreements from any phone or browser, and the records flow straight into the child’s profile — no paper packets to re-type.

Can we track attendance digitally?

Yes. Guardians sign children in and out on a hardware-free tablet kiosk with unique PINs, and every timestamp feeds live room ratios, billing rules and audit-ready attendance exports automatically.

Is training required for staff?

Very little. Every center gets one-on-one onboarding plus a library of short, role-based training videos, and most educators are confident on the classroom tablet within their first day.
