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.

You do not have to switch software to use Bienenstock.
Full data from minimal personal details per child:
That is all.
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 canton'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.
No switch of your existing software needed: Bienenstock only needs each child's name, group, date of birth and care model. Nothing else.
Tablet included · no surcharge
Sign in to Apple with your own or a new account, then download the Bienenstock app from the App Store.
CSV import from your existing system or quick manual entry. We guide you via video call.
Tablet at the entrance, parents scan, data flows into the dashboard. No second training day needed.
We help you with all of your day-to-day documentation tasks.
How your co-director works with you:
Every room shows who is there right now. Live from the check-ins, no head counts.
Groups right now
Drag a child or an educator into another room to move their check-in.
On every room: maximum, today's daily limit and the fallback group.
Photograph a sketch, and the floor plan is ready.
Draw the rooms on paper, write the group names inside, take a photo. You check the matching and save. Rooms without a group get a “#”, such as “#Turnraum”.
Group lights at the entrance
If you like, the check-in screen shows the light of selected groups. Green, yellow or red is also spelled out.
Two taps instead of ten messages. And the centre knows.
Parents report an absence, cancel a meal or announce an early pickup through fixed actions. There is no free text that someone has to read and answer. The centre shares messages, the group report and notes about the child, and parents see live how full the centre is.
Parents → centre
Centre → parents
Kita Sonnenschein: near the limit
The centre may soon stop admitting children.

"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
Note: We're working on a video of the V2 platform - this still shows V1.
Enough staff for the children - legally secured
Automated, less administrative effort
Transparency builds trust with parents
