PebbleDesk Features
See how the daily record stays audit-ready. Start with the director workflow you need to run clearly today.
Audit-ready workflows
The problem: daily childcare records scatter before audit week.
Attendance, ratios, family records, billing, and staff notes often live in separate places. Directors then have to rebuild the story when a parent, subsidy agency, or licensing reviewer asks what happened.
The solution: each PebbleDesk feature feeds the same audit-ready record.
Start with the workflow creating rework today, then move to the nearby features that shape the same record. Each page explains the problem first and shows how PebbleDesk keeps the record connected for licensed centers, family childcare homes, and multi-site programs.
