About Steadyroom
Built by a daycare operator, not just for one.
For ten years I owned and ran two licensed child care centers in Pasco County / WesleyChapel FL. I hired teachers off Indeed, chased background-check paperwork, calculated ratios on a whiteboard, and paid HVAC contractors who sent whoever was free that morning.
Every software product I tried was built by people who had never opened a center at 6:30 a.m. with a teacher calling in sick. They were good at the parts a parent sees — photos, messages, a daily report — and quiet about the parts a licensing inspector sees.
What that means in practice
Compliance is calculated live, not later
A room out of ratio shows up on the director's screen and the teacher's phone at the same moment, because both read from the exact same live check-in data.
The database enforces rules, not just the screen
A staff member without a completed background check can't be placed on a ratio-counted roster. That's a constraint in the database, not a warning a busy director can click past.
Billing never rewrites history
Rate cards and ratio rules are effective-dated. An old invoice always resolves against the rule that was in force when it was issued — eliminating disputes over historic statements.
Nobody enters the same day twice
The teacher logs a bottle in two taps; the parent sees it in their app; the director sees the room's real-time ratio status. One entry, three surfaces.
What we don't do
We don't run background checks — your state does, and we record the verified result. We don't employ or vouch for marketplace vendors — we track their paperwork and move the money. We don't let AI send anything to a family without a staff member approving it first. The boring parts of child care software are the ones that get you cited, and we hold those to a higher bar on purpose.
Who's behind it
Founded by former child care center operators and specialized engineers who have managed daycares through licensing inspections, staffing challenges, and full enrollment cycles.
