Set up kidsday for your own class (no school account)

Note: This topic is for teachers whose center is not on kidsday yet, or who teach their own class. If your center already uses kidsday, see Join your center instead — your administrator adds you there.

If you run your own class, or you're setting up a center that isn't in kidsday yet, you can create an institution yourself from the app. You become its administrator, and everything else — classes, children, the daily plan — is built inside it.

Create the institution

1. Open Profile, tap the center card and choose Add New Workspace. On a brand-new account, this screen appears right after you set your password.
2. Choose Set-up your institution and tap Next.
3. Fill in the institution's name and email, check the time zone and add a logo if you have one.
4. Tap Create your institution.

Add your class

1. The Children screen opens empty, with Add new class.
2. Enter a class name and pick a colour.
3. Choose an age group, or create one with its age range and child-to-teacher ratio.
4. Under Report Configuration, tick the daily reports you want for this class — the app suggests a set for the age group.
5. Tap Save.

Tip: Assign Teachers invites colleagues to the class. You can leave it empty if you teach the class on your own, and add people later.

Add the children

1. On the Children screen, tap Add child.
2. Use Invite to send the parents an invitation, or Add manually to enter the child yourself.
3. Fill in the name, surname, birthday and gender, then tap Save.

Plan the day

1. Open the Calendar tab and tap Plan.
2. Choose what to add: Activity, Meal, Event, Appointment, Announcement or Task.
3. For an activity, choose Add Manually or let Generate with AI draft the plan for you.
4. Fill in the details and tap Save. The item appears on the day in your calendar.

From here your class works like any other kidsday class: attendance, daily reports, messages with families and the weekly plan.
