One connected workspace

Less searching.
More clarity for your team.

A room change affects more than a roster. A new enrollment needs more than a name. Keep the records your team works with connected, from the first inquiry to the monthly report.

Find the details you need

Bring child, family, guardian, and emergency-contact records together, with forms and household billing close at hand.

See what’s ahead

Review room assignments, capacity, and upcoming transitions alongside your waitlist and enrollment plans.

Keep decisions in your hands

Use reports, exports, and payroll comparisons to review the details before taking the next step.

The work, brought together

A practical toolkit for
your centre’s moving parts.

Start with the workflows your team uses every day. Keep the wider operation in view.

Children & Families

A shared household record connects enrolled children, guardian contacts, emergency details, and family billing.

  • Child and family profiles
  • Guardian and emergency contacts
  • Enrollment records

Enrollment & Operations

Move from inquiry to placement with a clearer picture of your rooms and the children expected each day.

  • Applications and confirmed waitlists
  • Room assignments and capacity planning
  • Weekly rosters and attendance-sheet exports

Billing & Finance

Keep family accounts, invoices, and recorded payments together so financial follow-up has context.

  • Invoices and account statements
  • Payment recording and balances
  • Expense review and reporting exports

Payments are processed outside Red Wagon and recorded here.

Team & Scheduling

Organize staff details and weekly plans, with payroll assistance for reviewing hours and funding allocations.

  • Employee profiles and room assignments
  • Regular schedules and time off
  • Payroll imports and comparisons

Forms & Guardian Paperwork

Give paperwork a place in the workflow. Share forms and review submissions alongside centre records.

  • Centre-configured forms
  • Secure assigned guardian links
  • Submission review and history

Reports & Administration

Turn operational records into useful summaries, while keeping settings and access with authorized people.

  • Operational reports and exports
  • Program and centre setup
  • Team roles and permissions

From first inquiry to everyday operations

Keep the next step
in sight.

Connected records give each part of your operation context. Your team stays in control of placements, schedules, and financial decisions.

Talk through your centre’s workflow
  1. Plan the placement

    Review applications, manage your confirmed waitlist, and check room capacity before enrolling a child.

  2. Prepare for the day

    Connect family details and paperwork, review room assignments, and prepare staff schedules and attendance sheets.

  3. Bring the month into focus

    Review family balances, recorded payments, payroll-support information, and reporting exports.

Careful with the details that matter

Sensitive records.
Thoughtful access.

Child, family, and employee information deserves deliberate handling. Red Wagon combines centre-scoped records with permissions for authorized team members.

Read our Privacy Policy

Access follows responsibility

Centre memberships and role-based permissions control access to operational records and sensitive financial workflows.

Protected sign-in and sharing

HTTPS protects information in transit. Login protections, multi-factor authentication options, and secure assigned guardian forms support controlled access.

Built around centre operations

For the people who
keep the centre running.

Red Wagon brings the administrative side of childcare into focus, with connected records and tools that reflect how centre teams work.

Owners & Operators

See enrollment plans, room capacity, family accounts, and reporting in one workspace.

Directors & Administrators

Keep daily records, staff schedules, family paperwork, and operational follow-up organized.

Authorized Centre Teams

Work with the records and tools your role needs, within the centre you’re authorized to access.

Your centre’s setup. Your team’s judgement.

Configure programs, rooms, roles, and forms around your operation. Review financial, payroll, and funding outputs with your advisers before relying on them.

Before you get started

A few useful answers.

Have a question about your centre? Get in touch.

How do we get access or ask for a demo?

Contact Red Wagon to discuss your centre, ask product questions, or request a walkthrough. Accounts are issued through private onboarding; public self-service signup is not available.

Is this a parent or guardian portal?

Red Wagon is a workspace for childcare operators and authorized staff. Guardians complete forms using links provided by their centre. For a child’s records or enrollment questions, contact the centre directly.

Does Red Wagon process payments or run payroll?

Red Wagon records payments processed elsewhere and provides payroll assistance, imports, comparisons, and exports. It does not process payment-card transactions or replace your payroll provider or professional advisers.

What about funding and CWELCC workflows?

Red Wagon includes configurable funding records and payroll funding allocations that can support your centre’s review. Availability depends on your setup. These tools do not determine CWELCC eligibility or provide regulatory approval. Ask us about your specific workflow.
