Set up daycare

Configure the service

If the daycare settings page is locked, the Daycare module is not enabled for this organization.

1. Open Settings > Daycare.
2. Enter the daily capacity, default day price, opening time, and closing time.
3. Save the changes from the bar at the bottom of the page.

Prepare client and animal data

• Open Settings > Requirements to select accepted species and any health information clients must provide.
• Add clients under Clients and connect every animal to its owner under Animals.
• Record useful profile and health details before the first visit so they are available when staff open a session.

Choose communication settings

Open Settings > Notifications and review the Daycare tab. Enable only the available email or SMS events your team intends to use, such as session updates, reminders, or cancellations.

Run a test session

1. Open Daycare attendance from the sidebar and add a session for an existing client and animal.
2. Check the date, expected times, price, and capacity indicator.
3. Move the test session through the statuses your team will use during arrival and collection.
