What is CentreBloom?
CentreBloom is childcare management software for Canadian childcare centres, preschools and early learning programs. It replaces the mix of spreadsheets, paper files and single-purpose apps most centres run on, bringing enrolment, waitlists, attendance, billing and payments, staff scheduling, Canadian payroll, family communication, learning documentation and compliance records into one platform — for a single centre or several locations.
Who is CentreBloom designed for?
Owners, directors and administrators who run the centre; educators who record attendance and daily activity; and families who need updates, forms, invoices and statements. It suits independent centres, preschool programs and multi-location operators who need organization-wide visibility without taking day-to-day control away from each location.
What problems does CentreBloom help manage?
The everyday administrative load of running a licensed childcare centre: chasing registration paperwork, keeping an accurate daily attendance record, invoicing families on a recurring cycle and following up on balances, turning staff hours into pay, answering the same questions from families, and being able to produce records when a licensing officer or funding programme asks for them.
Which childcare workflows can CentreBloom connect?
The value is less in any single feature than in the handoffs between them — an inquiry becomes an enrolment, attendance feeds billing, and staff check-ins feed payroll, without re-entering anything.
- Inquiry → waitlist → enrolled child recordEnrolment & waitlists →
- Daily check-in and check-out → attendance record → reports and exportsAttendance & check-in →

Is CentreBloom built for Canadian childcare centres?
Yes. CentreBloom is built and hosted in Canada, prices in Canadian dollars, and includes payroll that calculates CPP, CPP2, EI and federal and provincial income tax using CRA payroll formulas, plus help preparing T4 slips. Two limits are worth stating plainly: Quebec payroll (QPP, QPIP and Revenu Québec filings) is not supported, and CentreBloom is not a certified tax-calculation service — it does not remit or file on your behalf. See exactly what CentreBloom payroll does and doesn't do.
How can someone evaluate CentreBloom?
Three ways, in increasing depth: read the published pricing (per centre, per month, by active student count); work through the childcare software evaluation checklist and use it on every vendor you are considering, not just this one; or take the launch offer and run CentreBloom free for two months — long enough to enrol real families, work through two complete billing cycles and a genuine pay run before you commit to anything. No credit card is required to start. A guided demo is available if you would rather be walked through it first.

Questions about CentreBloom
What is childcare management software?
Childcare management software is a system childcare centres use to run daily operations in one place instead of across spreadsheets, paper files and separate apps. It typically covers enrolment and waitlists, child and family records, attendance, billing and payments, staff scheduling and family communication, and produces the reports and records a centre needs for licensing, funding and day-to-day decisions.
What is CentreBloom?

It brings enrolment, waitlists, attendance, billing and payments, staff scheduling, Canadian payroll, family communication, learning documentation and compliance records into one platform, for a single centre or several locations.

Does CentreBloom support multiple locations?

Can families use CentreBloom?
Yes. Families access messages, announcements, forms, invoices, statements, documents, and child updates through their family account.
Can CentreBloom help with learning documentation?
Yes. Educators record child observations, activities, learning stories, developmental milestones, and progress updates.
Will our team receive onboarding and training?
CentreBloom provides guided onboarding and training to help administrators and educators start confidently.
Does CentreBloom offer a free trial?
Yes. New Canadian centres currently get 2 months free on the full platform as a launch offer, with no credit card required to start. Two months is deliberate: it is long enough to enrol real families, run two complete billing cycles and complete a genuine payroll run before deciding, rather than a week that only shows you the setup screens.
What happens when the free trial ends?
You choose a monthly or annual plan to continue, priced per centre by active student count from C$69 per month. Nothing is deleted if the trial lapses — your data is preserved and stays exportable. There is no automatic charge, because no card is taken up front.
How can I see CentreBloom in action?
Book a personalized demonstration to explore the platform and discuss your centre's needs, or start the 2-month free trial and use it with your own centre.
