The end of the month,
without the headache.
Built for the way Manitoba centers actually run — not a generic SaaS template stretched to fit.
28 days of math, done for you.
We know the CCO attendance grid takes hours. Nelu does the math for you. Educators sign children into their rooms right from the app. Nelu quietly tracks subsidized versus non-subsidized hours in the background. When the 28-day reporting period ends, your provincial report is perfectly formatted and ready to download. What used to take a weekend now takes a few clicks.
Share the moments. Protect their privacy.
Keeping track of who can and can't be in photos is stressful. Nelu's smart camera does it for you. It automatically spots any child without photo permissions and gently covers their face with a cute sticker before the picture is even saved. Your educators don't have to worry, and parents know their privacy is respected.
Built for the playground.
Wi-Fi doesn't reach the sandbox. Nelu works completely offline. Your team can log attendance, record incidents, and write daily updates while they're outside with the kids. The moment they walk back into the building, Nelu quietly syncs everything up. No spinning wheels, no lost data.
A beautiful website, built for you.
Every center needs a good website so parents can find you, but hiring a designer is expensive. We build you a professional, mobile-friendly website at no extra cost. When parents fill out the registration form online, their information goes straight into your Nelu waitlist. When a spot opens up, you can enroll a child in under 5 minutes — all the forms, consents, and emergency contacts are already in the system. No lost emails, no typing things twice.
Run your center,
not just the classroom.
Nelu replaces the spreadsheets, whiteboards, and binders you're using to hold everything together.
Keep an eye on your ECE II and ECE III ratios without constantly checking the schedule. Let your staff request vacation days right from their phones, with a built-in calculator that shows exactly how much time they have left. Nelu will send you a reminder 60 days before a First Aid certificate expires, and help you keep track of your building and fire inspections.
And that screen at your front door? It's your center's digital hub. When it's quiet, it displays today's lunch menu. During a fire drill, a quick PIN turns it into an Evacuation Roster, showing exactly who is in the building. When an unfamiliar relative arrives for pickup, they scan their ID, and Nelu pings your phone with their photo so you can verify them instantly.
Built for the people
who actually use it.
Directors, educators, parents — Nelu speaks to each of you in your own language and solves the headache that's actually yours.
We don't serve everyone.
We serve Manitoba.
Most childcare apps were made for private-pay preschools in the US. They focus heavily on credit card fees and tuition. That doesn't help you. With government funding and the $10-a-day initiative, Manitoba centers have unique needs. We built Nelu right here in Winnipeg because we saw local directors drowning in provincial paperwork that generic apps couldn't touch. We know how things work here, and we built this to help.
How we
compare.
We built Nelu specifically for Manitoba centers. Here is how that looks next to the alternatives.
