Who it’s for
Built for the people who run care out of a home
Family & group family daycares
You’re the director, the teacher, the cook, and the record-keeper. ArkCare is built around your license — New York’s Part 416 rules are wired in, so staying organized stops being a second job.
Start with Pro →Multi-site agencies
Running several licensed homes? The Director plan puts every location on one dashboard with cross-site compliance rollups — one flat price, however many homes you direct.
See the Director plan →Daycare centers are welcome too — attendance, records, and reports work beautifully today, and center-specific compliance packs are on the roadmap.
Fair questions
Is ArkCare only for New York providers?
The compliance engine is built around New York’s OCFS Part 416 — that’s our home turf and we say so plainly. Attendance, health records, staff files, and reports work just as well in any state; state-specific rule packs beyond New York are on the roadmap.
Do you charge per child?
No. Pro is one flat price for your licensed home; Director is one flat price for all your locations. Your bill doesn’t grow because your enrollment did.
What happens when the internet goes out?
Nothing dramatic. ArkCare is a desktop app that works offline first — you can check children in, log a drill, and print records with no connection at all. Everything syncs when you’re back online.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — self-serve, from the manage subscription page. No phone call, no retention script. You keep access through the end of your billing period.
Does it work for daycare centers?
The day-to-day tools — attendance, records, reports — work beautifully for centers today. The compliance engine currently covers home-based (Part 416) rules; center rulebooks are a planned addition, and we won’t pretend otherwise in the meantime.
Where does my data live?
On your device first, synced to your own secured cloud account. We don’t sell data, we don’t run ads, and children’s records are never used for anything except running your daycare.
Ready when you are
Less time proving the care. More time giving it.
Flat pricing, no demo calls, cancel anytime.
