Daycare Management Software in Edmundston
Edmundston and Madawaska sit in the north-west corner of New Brunswick, on the Quebec and Maine borders. Daycares here operate in French while serving families who regularly cross the provincial line for work.
KidSecure brings the essentials of a modern daycare in French: child files, attendance, monthly billing, tax receipts and parent communication, without going through software designed for another market.
Regional context
Proximity to Quebec creates an accounting quirk: some Edmundston families work in Quebec, but your daycare stays a New Brunswick one. Your daycare province determines the tax applied to your invoices, and KidSecure sets it when the account is created rather than leaving it to each entry.
Language of service
Edmundston is one of the most francophone cities in New Brunswick. Working in English-only software is daily friction for staff there. KidSecure is designed in French: labels, reports, parent emails and help are in French, and English stays available for families who ask for it.
On the ground
A Madawaska daycare issues tax receipts to parents who will file according to their own situation. KidSecure generates those receipts from payments actually collected during the year, not from a manual entry in February, which avoids gaps between what was paid and what is reported.
What governs a daycare in Edmundston
Designated Early Learning and Child Care Centre
A designated centre applies a base rate of $25.50 per day, from which an income-tested subsidy is deducted. A parent invoice therefore depends on two amounts: the base rate and the subsidised share, which varies from one family to the next.

Taxes on your invoices
A daycare in Edmundston bills parents with 15 % HST, the New Brunswick rate. KidSecure sets it when the account is created, from the province you pick, and shows it on every invoice and tax receipt — you never think about it at entry time.
Timezone
In Edmundston, your days, daily reports and invoice due dates follow Atlantic time. The daycare timezone is what counts — not the server’s, and not a travelling parent’s.
Educator-to-child ratios
These are the ratios KidSecure proposes by default to a daycare in Edmundston, following the New Brunswick framework. They stay editable room by room: your daycare keeps control of its own rules.
| Age group | Children per educator |
|---|---|
| 0 to 2 years | 3 |
| 2 to 3 years | 5 |
| 3 to 4 years | 7 |
| 4 to 5 years | 10 |
KidSecure recalculates each room ratio on every arrival and departure, and warns management as soon as a room in Edmundston goes over the threshold — during the day, not in a month-end report.

Receipts are generated from amounts actually collected during the year, not from a late-winter entry.
