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.
Wage Top-Ups & Supplements—Handled Properly
Day Guardian tracks wage top-ups and supplements with the context required for compliance.
This includes:
- Eligible hours and roles
- Funding sources and allocations
- Payout tracking and summaries
- Alignment with reporting and review requirements
Everything remains visible and defensible.
Built for Reviews, Audits, and Verification
Claims & Funding Management supports:
- Internal reviews
- Licensing and program audits
- Government verification requests
- Year-end reconciliation
Because records are structured and connected from the start, responding to requests is straightforward—not stressful.
Designed for Agencies and Centres
Whether managing multiple educators, homes, or rooms, Day Guardian adapts to scale while keeping funding activity consistent and controlled.
No parallel spreadsheets.
No disconnected reports.
No last-minute scrambling.
