Local Small Business Announces All-In-One Daycare Provider Tool

OKC METRO – Easy Time Clock, a local small business that provides a cloud-based time and attendance system for employees, recently announced on Friday the launch of its newest product package, Lilypad.

Lilypad is an all-in-one product that any in-home care provider or center director can use to run their business while providing live updates to parents. Providers will be able to setup calendar daily sheets, and parent information and documents. Provides are also able send real time data to parents regarding their children. Like its counterpart, Easy Time Clock, Lilypad stores data in a very secure cloud based server. With this site being cloud based, users are able to use any web enabled device to access Lilypad.

“Before my husband and I purchased Easy Time Clock earlier this year, I worked in child care, and I made many friends who have gone on to found their own in-home day cares – our 3-year-old son currently attends one! I’ve been hearing the horror stories of organizational chaos from these friends; some owners I know use as many as five different applications to help keep their businesses running smoothly, and as the owners of a tech company, this pulled on our heartstrings. Additionally, as a mom, there is so much information I wish my provider had the time and resources to provide me while our son is in their care,” said Alisha Allen Gardner, CEO of Easy Time Clock and founder of Lilypad.

Some of the features that comes along with Lilypad are:

·       Child Time Tracking - Parents can log children in by clocking them in or out on a tablet or phone. This way you always have your times for DHS!

·       Parent Communication - Provide parents with a complete online portal that allows them to make payments, check balances, access daily sheets, and more!

·       Online Daily Sheets - Lilypad makes it easy to create and edit daily sheets, which are stored on our servers where you can access them at any time.

·       Billing/Invoice System - Keep track of invoices and payments owed to you. We also offer Credit Card processing for weekly child rates.

Lilypad will be live Monday June 5^th. Before the initial launch date, Lilypad is requesting beta testers who get a free 60 day trial. Those interested in being beta testers can email support@mylilypadapp.com.

Easy Time Clock Staff Volunteers at Arts Festival

Beth & Alisha 

On April 27th, Beth and Alisha volunteered with the NW OKC Chamber at the Oklahoma City Arts Festival. They were put in charge of running the North side Beer and Drink tent! “For me, the best part of that day was getting to relive my early twenties serving drinks again. But this time, instead of pen and paper, we were able to use a tablet! I like getting to see the variety of people, that was fun!” –Alisha, CEO of Easy Time Clock. 

Beth really enjoyed the people watching and peaking at the local art. “My husband is an accomplished and talented artist. It’s hard for me to look at the paintings and not think, my husband could do that! I’m going to go home with all of these ideas and encourage him to be in the next arts fest.” Above all, the two really enjoy working with the NW OKC Chamber.  “Every time we have an event I get to see people I recognize and get to know them more. It’s like getting to work with all your friends!”
