Know your ratios in real time, every room
Ratios are the one number a director can never get wrong. MimiGrow tracks attendance and staff-to-child ratios live — no headcounts on sticky notes, no end-of-day surprises.
A live board for every room
Children tap in and out; the board updates instantly. Each room shows who's present, who's absent (and why), and the current ratio in plain words — “2 staff for every 8 children” — not a decimal nobody can read at a glance. Supply staff walking into a room understand it in one second.
Auto Crunch: the end of the day, handled
The trickiest ratio moment of the day is pickup time: children leaving at different times, staff hoping to head home, and the legal minimum shifting under your feet. Auto Crunch puts early signouts in a queue — the offer to go home comes from the queue, and the system suggests who can leave while keeping every room legal. The earliest-scheduled staff get priority, and directors stay in control.
Ratio rules, built in — not bolted on
Ontario's CCEYA ratios, group maximums, and the fine print (reduced ratios never permitted for infants) are part of the app's logic. Our plain-language ratio guide lists every number; MimiGrow enforces them while you work.
What directors see
- Every room's live attendance and ratio on one screen
- Absence reasons logged — not blank lines
- Early-signout queue with staffing suggestions
- A calm command view: almost nothing pending on a normal day
Frequently asked questions
How does live ratio tracking work?
As children check in and out, MimiGrow recalculates each room's staff-to-child ratio instantly and shows it in plain words — “2 staff for every 8 children” — so anyone glancing at the board knows exactly where the room stands.
What is Auto Crunch?
Auto Crunch manages the end-of-day wind-down. When parents start picking up, directors can offer early signouts from a queue — and the system suggests which staff can go home while keeping every room within legal ratio. No mental math, no whiteboard.
Does it handle Ontario's ratio rules?
Yes. Infant 3:10, toddler 1:5, preschool 1:8, kindergarten 1:13 — plus maximum group sizes and the rule that reduced ratios are never permitted for infants. See our Ontario ratio guide for the full table.
