Save yourself the hours of reconstructing attendance. Stop making staff and child decisions in the dark - and limit your personal liability in insurance cases and state inspections.
Easy to integrate: as much technology as necessary, as little as possible. The goal is to reduce admin work, not add to it.
What Bienenstock does:
We help you with all of your day-to-day documentation tasks.
Every check-in and check-out is logged with a timestamp and stored audit-proof. Daily reports for authorities and insurance are generated at the press of a button - no paper, no Excel.
Staff-to-child ratio, supervision hours and care duties are checked live against your state's rules. The system warns you about deviations before they become a problem.
Staff and occupancy forecasts for the next 14 days surface bottlenecks before they become emergencies. Adjust shifts and onboarding in time - and rarely close groups.
Occupancy, traffic-light status, attendance and staffing - all on one screen. No calls to the group, no manual counting. See what's running in real time.
Parents see Kita status and messages - and actively help the center with digital check-out and organization.
No confusing menus, no complex new software. That's the point: the tablet at the entrance does the work for you.
Parents and staff tap their card on the tablet. Check-in in under 2 seconds - even with two kids on your arm.
Management and providers see occupancy, traffic-light, groups - live in the dashboard. On tablet, desktop, and phone.
Management reacts instantly when the ratio gets tight: control intake or reallocate staff - before it gets critical.
For management and providers, daily reports are generated automatically - audit-signed, downloadable as PDF anytime.
The provider receives monthly, one click, all documents for authority and insurance in one package.
We ship you the tablet for free. You add staff and children. The next morning Bienenstock is ready at the entrance - and runs from then on by itself.

"We already have software in our daycare."
Daycare management software manages master data, contracts and place allocation. Beehive does something different: it shows you what is happening right now in your facility - and documents it seamlessly.
„Since implementing Beehive, we've reduced our administrative workload by 15%. Parents love the transparency and our staff can focus more on what matters most - the children. And as the director, I always know my facility is staffed within legal requirements and cleanly documented."
Anna-Maria Lauppert von Peharnik
Director and co-developer
