Claims & Funding Management

Government grants, subsidies, and wage top-ups—tracked with clarity and confidence.

Day Guardian’s Claims & Funding Management is built to manage the most complex and high-risk area of childcare operations: public funding. Designed specifically for Canadian childcare, it brings structure, transparency, and audit readiness to how grants, subsidies, and wage top-ups are captured, reconciled, and reported.

This is not manual tracking layered onto accounting software.

It’s a purpose-built system that aligns funding activity directly with enrolment, attendance, staffing, and compliance records.

Funding-Aware by Design

Claims and funding are tied to real operational data—so numbers always reflect reality.

Day Guardian connects:

  • Approved enrolment and attendance
  • Educator eligibility and hours
  • Program requirements and timelines
  • Funding rules and reporting periods

This reduces errors, prevents over- or under-claims, and strengthens confidence in every submission.

Clear, Defensible Audit Trails

Every claim is supported by linked records and documentation.

Operators can easily trace:

  • What was claimed
  • Why it was eligible
  • Which records support it
  • When it was submitted and reconciled

Audit trails are clear, complete, and review-ready—without reconstruction or manual explanation.
