Daycare software for North Carolina, with the state's licensing rules built into it.

What a North Carolina centre gets

• Staffing, as it actually stands right now. Who is in each room this minute, against the ratio that applies to that room — including North Carolina's named mixed-age group option, elected by written notice to the Division (10A NCAC 09 .0713(d)), where the group's composition sets the staffing rather than each child's age band.
• Staff credentials that count for something. An ITS-SIDS holder has to be present in an infant room, not merely on the payroll, so the requirement is evaluated against who is in the room — the same way a ratio is. A background check counts when it is complete, not when it is submitted, and a record nobody has checked satisfies nothing until an administrator verifies it.
• Annual training hours, counted the way North Carolina counts them. Hours are set by credential level and then prorated by weekly hours worked, so a part-timer's target is not a full-timer's. An unapproved self-report counts for nothing, and a record missing a field the rule names — trainer, location, category — is its own finding rather than a quiet pass.
• An inspection packet you hand to an inspector. What a visit asks for at one campus, as of a moment: an account they can read rather than a folder assembled after they arrive. It lists the obligations we do not evaluate, each with the rule that demands it, and it reports not complete by design.
• And the ordinary day underneath all of it — attendance and a tablet at the door, the daily record families read, messages and centre announcements, consent forms that wait for a signature, and recurring tuition families can pay online.

Where you can buy it today

North Carolina, and nowhere else yet. The rule engine reads five states, and the reference library for all five stays published because the rule text behind it is still true. But North Carolina is the only state we are taking centres in right now, and we would rather say so on the front page than in a reply to your email.

North Carolina is not an arbitrary first state. It is the one where every obligation we have transcribed but do not yet evaluate is closable by ordinary engineering work — there is no rule here we are holding a policy position on, and nowhere the engine fires on a lenient stand-in for a fact we do not hold. That is not true of the other four yet, and the North Carolina page names the ones still open by citation.

If your centre is licensed in Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts or South Carolina, each of those pages says plainly that we are not selling to you today. Which state asks next is how we decide which one comes after North Carolina.

Why the rules inside it are worth trusting

The reference library is not the product — it is the receipt for it. The same rule data the library publishes is what the engine evaluates.

• Primary source citations, not a summary of a summary. Every figure in the library links back to the regulation that states it.
• Dated verification, stated honestly. We publish the date a rule set was last checked against primary text and what that pass found, and each page states its own rule set's status out loud — not just in a footnote.
• No rounded numbers. A step ratio stays a step ratio; a session-dependent rule stays session-dependent. We model the shape the regulation actually has, not the shape that's easiest to summarize.

The boundary on all of it

KinderBee is at a pilot, disclosed stage, not a finished compliance guarantee. We tell you what a rule says, where it is written, and when a record stops satisfying it. We do not certify that your centre is compliant, and no software can — that determination is not ours to make.

A rule set reading verified does not move that line, because it answers a narrower question than it sounds like: how carefully we read the rule text, not how much of that text the engine evaluates. Those are two different limits, and each state's page in the reference library states both of them — the date the rules behind it were last read, and the obligations we do not yet evaluate. Start at the library and read the one for your state; the limits are stated there per state, which is the only place they can be kept true. The inspection packet inside the product works the same way and reports not complete by design. A compliance report with no gaps in it is the one result we will not hand you.
