How DCare fits a small program in Washington, D.C.
If you run a family child care home or a small center in Washington, D.C., DCare can hold your family records, draft weekly or monthly tuition invoices in US dollars, and record arrivals and departures at a tablet kiosk with personal PINs or QR codes. Parents see invoices, balances and messages in their own portal.
Attendance times follow the time zone set on your account. For Washington, D.C. that is normally America/New_York, which observes daylight saving time, so clocks change twice a year. US accounts show month-first dates and a 12-hour clock.
Check local requirements with the official source
Child care in District of Columbia is regulated by state and sometimes local agencies, and the rules depend on your setting type. DCare does not interpret those rules and has not yet published a detailed Washington, D.C. guide with verified local links. Use the District of Columbia government website to find the licensing office for your setting, and treat any software page as secondary.
What DCare costs for a Washington, D.C. program
US accounts are billed in dollars at list prices, not converted from euro: Start is $49 per month for up to 25 enrolled children and Standard is $99 per month for up to 60, excluding applicable taxes. Both begin with a 14-day trial that needs no card. Your account region and currency are fixed when you sign up; reading this Washington, D.C. page does not change an existing account.
DCare is deliberately narrow. It covers families, tuition invoices, attendance and parent access for one setting. It does not do lesson plans, photo sharing, multi-site management or subsidy claims, and it does not interpret District of Columbia or local rules.
