✦ Six students. Three kindergarten visits. One big to-do list.

Kindergarten admin has enough homework.

Meet KIDDOS. A kindergarten management system concept built around the paperwork that keeps following teachers and parents home: registration forms, fees, receipts and the everyday stuff in between.

REAL VISITS
REAL PROBLEMS
01 / The real beginning

Three visits. A few uncomfortable truths.

They didn’t just guess what kindergarten operators struggle with. They went to ask. Here’s what came back in the notes.

REAL CONVERSATIONS

From the team’s fieldwork camera roll. Visit findings are recorded below; individual photos are not assigned to specific centres.

Tadika PPKK Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz

At the UUM staff housing area, Sisiran 2, the existing system was outdated, lag-prone and poorly supported. Software was already there. Reliable help was not.

Tadika Generasi Gemilang

In Taman Resak, Changlun, one teacher handled a small centre relying on manual processes. The owner was open to digital tools that could reduce repeated admin and better serve parents.

Tabika KEMAS Taman Universiti

In Taman Universiti, Sintok, one teacher and one assistant used a government-provided system for internal administration. Parents had no direct access.

↳
What surprised them?

All three centres had different setups. One had an old system. One did things by hand. One had software that parents couldn't use. Different situations, but the same question: could this be less of a hassle?

02 / The problems they found

Not giant tech problems.
Very annoying real ones.

Two issues made it into the pitch because they kept coming back to the same thing: information shouldn't disappear just when someone needs it.

01 / FOR PARENTS🧾

“I paid the fees. Where’s the receipt?”

Paper receipts get lost, damaged or so faded they can barely be read. Try finding an old fee receipt when you need supporting documents for a tax-relief claim years later.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW

Find the old receipt. Hope it's still readable. Ask the kindergarten for another copy if it isn't.

WHAT KIDDOS PROPOSES

Generate an invoice, record the payment and keep an official digital receipt parents can retrieve later.

02 / FOR KINDERGARTENS📂

“Didn't we already submit that form?”

Student forms and supporting documents can be misplaced or scattered. Staff then chase the paperwork, and parents may have to submit the same things again.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW

Look through old folders, message the parent, collect documents again and repeat the data entry.

WHAT KIDDOS PROPOSES

Online registration, organised student files and records that can be updated for the next school year.

Why these two problems? They came from the team’s own research and pitching work — not a random feature wishlist.
03 / Okay, so how does it help?

Less hunting.
Less retyping.
More getting on with the day.

No mysterious “digital transformation” speech. Just two everyday jobs, broken down into a much more sensible sequence.

PARENTS + ADMIN

From “fee due” to “receipt saved”.

A proposed flow from the pitch. The aim: no more digging for payment proof months later.

PAPER CHASE, CANCELLED.*
01

Fees are calculated

The kindergarten creates the student's invoice.

02

Parent checks the bill

Amounts and the payment request are available in one place.

03

Payment is recorded

Once payment succeeds, a receipt can be generated.

04

Receipt stays findable

A digital record is kept for future reference; the pitch also proposes emailing the receipt.

PARENTS + STAFF

Enter it once. Update it next year.

Because a child moving up a class should not mean doing the entire registration from scratch.

NO MORE FORM HIDE-AND-SEEK.*
01

Register online

Parents complete the form without a stack of paper.

02

Upload documents

Supporting files stay with the student's record.

03

Staff find the details

Class and student information can be searched and organised.

04

Keep the history

Student status changes for a new year without rebuilding the whole record.

*These are the team's planned workflows from the pitch. The live mockup may demonstrate only some steps.

04 / And yes, there's more

Kindergarten life doesn't stop at invoices.

The pitch has more than billing and registration. Here are the other jobs KIDDOS wants to bring together in one place.

🧒ADMIN + STAFF

Student records & classes

Find student details, group children by class and keep records together instead of hunting through folders.

Prototype module · Student lists and class assignments.

✅TEACHERS

Attendance

Mark arrivals and absences, record supporting notes or MCs, and review attendance history.

Prototype module · Attendance entry and reporting views.

🧾ADMIN + PARENTS

Invoices & payments

Create fees and invoices, track what has been paid and keep receipts accessible.

Prototype module · Invoices, owner payment verification and receipt PDFs. Email delivery is proposed.

📈TEACHERS + PARENTS

Progress & activities

Share what children have been learning and the activities happening in class.

Prototype module · Activities and progress-report views.

🍽️STAFF + PARENTS

Meals & allergies

Make daily menus and food-allergy information easier to find. An important part of the project plan.

Prototype module · Daily menus and child allergy fields.

🔒SAFETY CONCEPT

Verified pick-up

The proposal includes QR-based authorised pickup verification and a record of who collected a child.

Prototype module · Expiring pick-up passes, QR display/scanning and logs. Guardian identity still needs an in-person check.

📝TEACHERS + ADMIN

Incidents & reports

Record accidents or incidents in an organised place rather than relying on scattered notes.

Prototype module · Incident recording views.

👪PARENTS

A way to stay in the loop

Check the information that matters without needing to call the kindergarten for every update.

Prototype module · Role-specific parent views and announcements.

05 / Have a look inside

Okay, but what does
the system look like?

The supplied PHP prototype has separate owner, teacher and parent views. These screenshots come from a local run of the team’s prototype with fictional sample records. The demo button opens their own hosted system.

Payments in the prototype require owner verification; these screens do not demonstrate live payment processing.

Proposed subscription price per kindergarten

Concept pricing presented in the KIDDOS pitching slides, not a live purchase offer.
Who would actually use this?

Owners pay.
Staff use it.
Parents benefit.

Their pitch targets private kindergartens, particularly centres with roughly 30–150 children. That is where the team wants to begin testing whether this solves a real problem.

THE SALES PLAN? DIRECT VISITS, REAL DEMOS, A PROPOSED 30-DAY TRIAL, THEN SUBSCRIPTION AND REFERRALS.
