Built by directors · For directors

Every Friday evening, most directors are still catching up on paperwork from Monday.

Running a childcare center wasn't supposed to mean 20 hours a month on submissions, log books, and audit prep. But here you are — copying attendance into agency templates, updating ratio logs, hunting for an expired CPR certification before tomorrow's licensing visit, pulling together meal counts for your food program claim. Every agency wants the same data. Every agency wants it in their own format. None of your software helps. And nobody answers the phone when it breaks on Monday morning.

The problem

Does this sound familiar?

You export your attendance. Then you open a second spreadsheet. Then a third.

DWSS wants their monthly timesheet format. MCCYN wants their submission sheet. CACFP wants their claim format. Same data. Three different templates. Every single month. By hand.

Your CACFP claim got kicked back. Again.

Missing checkout times. Non-compliant meals. A resubmission process that eats your Thursday afternoon — because the data was right in your system but wrong in their template.

A family just pulled their child without notice.

No warning. No conversation. You had no idea they were unhappy — until they were gone and you had an empty spot and a hole in your budget.

Your licensing inspector is coming next week.

You have staff files in three different binders, certifications expiring you didn't know about, and a drill log that hasn't been updated since November.

You just posted another job listing for an office manager. The third one this year.

Because the last two burned out doing the data entry that software was supposed to handle. And the one before that took your submission history with her when she left.

The solution

One system. Every submission. Native format. Automatic.

20+ hours back every month — or your first 3 months are free

We operated centers across Nevada, California, and Florida. We've been through DWSS audits, MCCYN submission deadlines, CDA payment disputes, and CACFP kickbacks. We built Mira because we were tired of paying for software that handed us an export button and called it automation.

Built by directors. Used by directors.

"I built Mira because I needed it. I run childcare centers across Nevada, California, and Florida. Every feature in this product solves a problem I personally lived through — DWSS resubmissions at 11pm, a CACFP claim kicked back the day before payroll, an office manager who quit and took her submission history with her. Mira is the operations layer that doesn't burn out."

Why this matters
We don't compete on feature count. We compete on time back.
  • Mira was designed against the actual workflows of a director's day — not a product manager's wireframe
  • Every agency submission was reverse-engineered from real audits, not from a vendor's published API
  • Compliance, billing, and family ops are built around how Nevada & California licensing actually inspect — not the textbook version
  • The 3-month guarantee is the deal: if Mira doesn't save you 20+ hours a month, you don't pay
