Managing reports in a daycare or CPE often leads to the same problem: over time, you end up with a long list of reports that are nearly identical — same data, slightly different columns or groupings, created because one view didn't quite fit every situation. It gets hard to find the right one, and even harder to keep them all up to date.
MyDaycare Plus just solved that.
Reports in MyDaycare Plus now support multiple versions — all built on the same underlying dataset. When you open a report, you simply select the version you want before viewing it.
Each version can differ in the columns displayed, the way data is grouped, the sorting order, or the level of detail shown. The data source stays the same; only the presentation changes.
This means a single attendance report, for example, can have one version grouped by child, another by educator, and a third showing only absences — without needing to create and maintain three separate reports.
Fewer reports to manage. Instead of duplicating reports every time someone needs a slightly different view, you maintain one report with several tailored versions. Your report library stays clean and easy to navigate.
Consistent, reliable data. Since all versions draw from the same dataset, there's no risk of one report being out of sync with another. Everyone is looking at the same numbers, just from a different angle.
More flexibility without more complexity. Different staff members may need different views of the same information — a director looking at the big picture, an educator checking their group, an accountant focused on billing. Each can access the view that fits their role, without asking anyone to create a custom report.
Faster access to the right information. No more scrolling through a crowded report list trying to remember which one was the right one. Open the report, pick the version, done.
In a childcare setting, the same underlying data — attendance, billing, hours, children's files — needs to serve multiple purposes and multiple people. A rigid, one-view-per-report system forces you to either create too many reports or settle for ones that don't quite fit.
Multiple versions give you the flexibility to serve everyone's needs from a single, well-maintained source. It's a small change in how reports work, but it has a real impact on how efficiently your team operates day to day.
This feature is available now in MyDaycare Plus for all existing reports. No setup required — just open a report and explore the available versions.
