Questions, answered
No. Bloomily is free for a licensed home daycare up to 18 children — no card, not a trial. Daily Connect is $12.99 a month at six children and rises from there.
The Home plan is curated, not crippled: check-in, daily reports, tuition and invoicing, your own webpage, and a family app. Staff scheduling, camp sessions and the deeper program tools live on Standard, and you only meet that at 18 children.
No. We do not file CACFP claims, and if your sponsor requires a particular food-program system you should keep it. We would rather say that now than after you have moved.
Stop comparing. Start running.
