Famlo: those tools in one place, on a free plan
You’re ready for Famlo if any of these sound like you
You collect the same allergy form on paper, every term
It is on the child once. Every later registration brings it with them.
A teacher needs the register, not the payouts page
Six roles. A teacher gets their own classes and register, and nothing about the money.
Half of them have registered and you cannot say how many have paid
A card registration is paid when it is made, and a payment plan collects itself on schedule.
Scholarship invoices are a spreadsheet and a calendar reminder
On the Scholarship plan Famlo raises them at checkout, one per child, and chases the unpaid ones.
Who is allowed to collect a child lives in a text thread
Authorized pickup sits on the child's record, with allergies and an emergency contact.
Get found by families who are already looking
MyKidReports gives you enrollment forms for your own website and a waitlist. Famlo also puts your classes on a map homeschool parents near you search by their kids’ ages and the dates they’re free, and tells families nearby when you post something new.
No card. Listing stays free whether or not you ever collect a penny through us.
Built for classes and co-op days, not only licensed rooms
MyKidReports is built around rooms, ratios and childcare licensing, with allergies, authorized pickup and QR check-in. Famlo brings those records to classes, camps and co-op days: families add each child once, and every class they book carries the allergies and who may collect them.
No card. Listing stays free whether or not you ever collect a penny through us.
Take payments on the free plan, with no per-child bill
MyKidReports’ free plan covers five children without billing; Pro is $0.99 per child a month in tiers of ten. Famlo’s free plan takes card payments with no monthly bill; families pay a booking fee when they book, unless you cover it, and on the Scholarship plan Famlo writes Step Up families’ invoices.
No card. Listing stays free whether or not you ever collect a penny through us.

Questions about switching from MyKidReports
Ninety-nine cents a child is cheap. Why switch?
For a licensed daycare it’s good value, and MyKidReports covers ratios, the CACFP food program and licensing reports, which Famlo doesn’t. For classes, camps and co-ops, Famlo runs registration, rosters and payments on a free plan with no per-child bill, and lists your classes where families nearby search.
Can families pay in installments on Famlo?
Yes. Families can pay a term in installments by card, into your own Stripe account, and recurring dues retry a failed payment.
Can we switch mid-year?
Yes. Set up next term on Famlo while this one finishes; MyKidReports has no contract.
What if we leave Famlo?
Export your registrations, rosters and attendance as CSV, then delete your group. There is no exit fee.
