For nursery and preschools

School management system for nursery and preschools

A nursery or preschool management system is less about grades and more about trust: who collected the child, what they ate and did today, and whether the fees for lunch and bus are up to date. Safeticha gives parents a daily window into their child's day and gives the owner a safe, simple way to run the business.

Definition

What early years settings need

Parents of a two-year-old do not want a position in class. They want to know the child arrived, who took them home, what they learned and that fees are sorted. The software should make those four things effortless for a small staff.

Safeguarding is built in for a reason: the youngest children cannot report a concern themselves, so the staff tools for noticing and escalating matter more here than anywhere.

Pricing

What it costs

Safeticha is priced per school, not per module. Payroll, fees, invoicing, receipts, report cards, attendance, CBT exams and safeguarding are all part of the same school plan, which is tiered by pupil count and starts at ₦37,500 a month.

New schools get a 10-day onboarding period and a further 30 days of use before the first charge, so the first bill lands on day 40. Billing is monthly from the school wallet with no lock-in contract.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Safeticha too big for a small nursery?

No. Plans are tiered by pupil count, so a small setting pays the lowest tier, and modules you do not use stay out of the way.

Can parents choose optional items like lunch?

Yes. Optional fee items are shown to the parent, who opts in, and the balance and receipts reflect their choice.

Can we send photos to parents?

Yes, through observations and school messaging in the Parent app.
