Asked across the table, answered the same way.

Usually about a week — and we do the heavy lifting with you. Children, classes, buses, billing: set up together, side by side, while your morning routine carries on as usual. Your day doesn't pause while it happens.

It shouldn't be, and with us it isn't — we carry the boxes. Bring your rosters and records in whatever shape they're in — paper, spreadsheets, another system — and we'll move them over with you, carefully, before you say goodbye to the old way. Nothing gets lost between the binder and the screen.

Then they'll feel at home. One tap at the door, one tap for a meal — most staff learn it in an afternoon, and we'll train them in Yiddish if they like. And Yiddish isn't an afterthought: Yiddish names, Yiddishe dates, a built-in Yiddish keyboard, Yiddish print layouts. The daycare finally writes the way it talks.

We do something better than a try-it-yourself trial: we walk you through it with your own world on the screen. Book a demo and we come prepared for your daycare — your branches, your buses, your calendar — and answer everything live. No card, no commitment, no homework left on your desk.

The day keeps going. Tendi works offline in the classroom — check-ins, meals, naps, notes all keep flowing — and everything syncs itself the moment the connection comes back. Nobody stands at the door waiting for the WiFi.

It was built on it. Erev Shabbos early dismissal is a first-class concept with its own hours and its own bus schedules; Sunday sessions and Yom Tov closures flow through attendance, meals, and busing on their own. A route simply cannot run on a day the luach says it shouldn't.

By text message — on whatever phone they already carry. Parents who opt in get a text at the moments that matter: safely arrived, on the bus, off the bus. And any parent can text a question any time — "How's Shloimy?" — and the current status comes straight back from the day's live record, without anyone interrupting a teacher. No portal, no passwords, nothing to download. The news just comes — and the answer is always a text away.

No — and they never will. There's no portal, no passwords, nothing to download. Updates arrive as plain text messages, and a parent can text back a question and get the answer the same way. Every phone works — including the simplest one in the pocket.

Real numbers, out in the open, priced by location: home-based programs are $50 a month per home, full centers are $3,000 a month per center — and an Enterprise plan for networks is on the way. One Tendi, everything in it: no per-feature nickel-and-diming, no surprise line items. The whole picture is on the pricing page.

No. Tendi is month-to-month — if it isn't lifting weight off your day, you shouldn't be paying for it. We'd rather earn next month than lock in this one.

Each location is priced on its own, and you see all of them from one place — every branch with its own classes, buses, and settings, one calm view over the whole operation. Running a real network of centers? That's what the Enterprise plan is for — it's coming soon, and we're shaping it with directors like you. Talk to us.

Only your daycare. Your children's and families' details are yours — never sold, never shared, never used for anything but running your day. And inside the daycare, access follows roles: only the right people see a child's record. That's a promise we make to your parents as much as to you.

It's kept like it matters, because it does. Secure cloud storage, your records isolated per center and backed up every day — and a full audit trail, so every action in the system is on the record with a name and a time. Nothing slips, and nothing hides.

Only if you want to. Our tablets arrive ready: preloaded, signed in, your center's name on the screen — unbox, plug in, tap ([NEEDS INPUT: tablet price/details]). Or bring the devices you already have and trust — Tendi runs happily on them too. Both are fully supported, and we'll help you set up either way. The full story is on the pricing page.

From us, ready to hand out: branded photo ID cards for every child, produced in batch for each of your locations. The children tap at the door or on the bus and attendance marks itself — even the littlest ones love the click.
