Founder · Mini Me
Why we built Mini Me

Built by a childcare family, not a software company.

Mini Me started inside a real, family-owned 24-hour childcare center that was tired of paying $150+ a month for software that felt clunky and impersonal. We built the app we wished we had — warm, fast, mobile-first, and priced so independent and minority-owned centers can actually afford it.

Every dollar a center saves on software is a dollar that can go back to teachers and families. That's the whole mission.

Trust & security

Built for the most precious data you'll ever handle.

Children's data isn't like other data. Every choice in Mini Me — from encryption to who can see a photo — starts from "what's safest for the child?"

Encrypted end-to-end

All data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Daily automated backups.

Role-based access

Owners, teachers, and parents only see what they're authorized to see. Full audit log per user.

Parent-controlled photos

Photos are private by default. Parents control sharing per child and can revoke access any time.

COPPA & FERPA aware

Designed around children's data privacy best practices. No ads, ever. We never sell data.

US-based hosting

Hosted on SOC 2-compliant infrastructure in US data centers with 99.9% uptime SLA on Pro and above.

GDPR-ready exports

Export or delete a family's data on request, in machine-readable formats, at no extra cost.

Mini Me is software. Centers remain responsible for complying with their local childcare licensing, privacy, data security, and payment processing requirements. Nothing on this page constitutes legal or compliance advice.

From the people who actually use it.

Quotes from the directors, teachers, and parents using Mini Me every day.

"Paying by the child just makes sense. Our summer enrollment drops and so does the bill — I'm not paying for empty seats, and the support team actually knows my center's name."

"The big buttons are everything. I can log a diaper change with one hand while holding a toddler. Best of all, I'm not staying late to type up daily reports anymore."
Ms. Jordan
Lead teacher, Butterfly Room
"I get photos of my daughter during the day and pay tuition right from my phone. It's the first childcare app that doesn't feel like 2014."
