MyLittleWorld vs KidzLog
KidzLog is a genuinely good, low-cost option for check-in and parent communication, and it's Canadian like us. The differences are narrower here than with the big platforms — this page is about where each one pulls ahead.
Where MyLittleWorld goes further
KidzLog is a $89/mo flat rate for smaller centres, then about $3.99 per child once you're over 20. MyLittleWorld is $29.99–$114.99/mo flat: a 40-child centre pays about $50/mo here versus $89, and a 100-child centre pays about $115 versus roughly $400.
MyLittleWorld handles payment plans, invoices, and late-fee tracking as a core part of the product, so you don't need a separate tool to bill families.
Beyond check-in, MyLittleWorld tracks staff clock-in, certifications and their expiry, and time-off requests — the admin work of running a team, in the same place.
A public sign-up form and a leads pipeline turn your website into a waitlist, so you can fill open spots without a spreadsheet of inquiries.
The whole product and the parent app work in French and English — which matters in Québec and for francophone families anywhere.

MyLittleWorld or KidzLog: common questions
Is KidzLog a bad choice?
Not at all. If you mainly need check-in, activity logs, and parent messaging and you run a small centre, KidzLog is a solid, inexpensive tool. MyLittleWorld makes more sense when you also want billing, staff management, and enrollment in one place — and when your headcount makes the per-child rate add up.
We're a small centre today but growing. Which should we pick?
MyLittleWorld. The flat tiers mean your bill barely moves as you fill spots, whereas per-child pricing scales with enrollment. A centre planning to grow past 20–25 children usually comes out ahead here.
Can we move from KidzLog easily?
Yes. Export your children and families from KidzLog, send us the files, and we set up your roster, classrooms, and pricing in MyLittleWorld — usually within a day.
Do both work offline at the door?
Both run in a browser and are built for a tablet at the entrance. MyLittleWorld's kiosk supports QR and PIN check-in with pickup-authorization verification.
So which should you pick?
Choose KidzLog if you run a small centre, want the lowest possible price for check-in and parent communication, and handle billing elsewhere. Choose MyLittleWorld if you want billing, staff, and enrollment in the same product, expect to grow past ~20 children, or need it in French.
