Notifications
The right nudge, to the right person, at the right time
Daily Cubby watches for the things that usually get missed — an unpaid invoice, an unclaimed child, a room out of ratio — and tells the person who can act on it.
What you can do
Ratio and safety alerts
A room drifting out of ratio or a missed sleep check notifies the lead immediately.
Pickup and absence reminders
Families get a nudge before late-pickup fees apply, and unexplained absences flag for follow-up.
Payment reminders
Gentle reminders before the due date and escalating follow-ups after it, sent without anyone drafting an email.
You set the rules
Choose which events notify whom, on which channel, and during which hours.
How it works
Pick the events that matter
Turn on the alerts your center actually needs and leave the rest quiet.
Choose the audience and channel
Route each alert to a role or an individual by push, email, or SMS.
Adjust from what you see
An alert log shows what fired and whether it was acted on, so you can tune the noise down.
Why centers switch
- Fewer late pickups, because families are reminded before the fee applies
- Ratio issues reach a lead in seconds instead of at handover
- Overdue invoices shrink without an awkward phone call
- Alerts stay useful because you control the volume
