ECD Centre Management System
for South Africa
Give early learning more room in your day. Keep attendance, pickups, fees and parent updates together, and enable staff, expenses and assets to organise the people and resources behind your ECD centre.
Keep Your Centre’s Records Together
A busy centre needs useful records close at hand. Keep attendance, learner information and invoices organised so authorised staff can find what they need.
Attendance & Pickup Records
Keep student arrivals and departures together. Your centre can enable pickup photos, signatures and parent self-service to support its collection process.
Organised Learner Records
Keep each child’s details, emergency contacts and allergies organised for authorised staff to access when they need them.
Records for Centre Administration
Review learner information, attendance and school finances from the dashboard. Keep the records behind your centre’s daily decisions in one place.
Daily Operations, Simplified
Bring fees, your team, centre spending and equipment into the same system as your parent communication. Enable staff, expenses and assets when your centre is ready to use them.
Fee Collection in ZAR
Create invoices, generate PDF statements, and record payments manually as they come in. A simple tool to keep your centre's finances organised.
Practitioner & Staff Management
Enable staff profiles, attendance and leave requests. Optional teacher mobile attendance and clock-in mode let your centre choose its routine.
Expenses & Funding Sources
Enable expenses to organise spending categories, funding sources, till slips and reimbursements. Confirm the fields extracted by the till-slip scanner before saving.
Centre Asset Register
Enable assets to track equipment locations, condition and warranty details, with audit and expiry reminders. Keep the register available to authorised administrators and clerks.
Reach Every Parent
Many ECD parents don't check email. Koonection sends updates through the mobile app, so notices about closures, events, and important reminders go straight to their phones.
Centre Announcements
Post holiday schedules, meeting reminders, or health notices once and reach all parents without phoning each family individually.
Policies & Forms
Store your centre's policies, consent forms, and handbooks digitally. Keep everything organised in one place and access it from the admin dashboard whenever you need it.
Practical, Affordable, Local
