What Bloomily does that Playground doesn't
The only platform architecturally built for BOTH childcare AND camps.

4 enrollment modes (Activity, Schedule, Track selection), public catalogs, session-based billing with deposits. Not just childcare with camp features bolted on.
ELOF developmental tracking
6 developmental domains aligned with Head Start standards: Cognitive, Language, Social-Emotional, Physical, Self-Help, Creative. 4-level mastery scale.
NFC tap check-in
We're the only childcare platform with NFC tag support. Families tap to check in—fastest option for high-volume lines.
True hybrid architecture
Not childcare software with camp features added. Not camp software with childcare bolted on. Built from the ground up for organizations that do both.
