For non-profit & community programs

Non-profit daycare cameras parents can actually watch

Affordable, secure live viewing for non-profit childcare centers, Head Start programs, co-ops, and community preschools. CareCam runs on the cameras you already have, is video-only, and lets each family watch only their own child's room. Transparency your board and funders can point to, without a capital project.

Talk to us about your programHow CareCam works

Built for community childcare

Fits a non-profit budget

Community childcare runs on tight margins and grant cycles. CareCam uses the IP cameras you already have and has published pricing from $99/mo, a predictable line item instead of a hardware project you have to fundraise for.

Accountability your board can point to

A live view gives directors and boards a concrete answer when funders, licensors, or the community ask about transparency and child safety. Access is logged, scoped, and easy to explain in a policy.

Trust that fills classrooms

Letting parents watch their own child live is one of the strongest trust signals a community program can offer, and it helps enrollment without a marketing budget.

Private and video-only

Each family sees only their own child's room, during hours you set. No audio to parents, no public links, no recording for parents. Respectful of children and staff alike.

Non-profit daycare cameras: FAQ

Can a non-profit childcare center afford cameras with parent viewing?
Usually yes. Because CareCam runs on standard IP cameras your center may already have, most non-profit centers can add secure live parent viewing without a capital purchase. Pricing is published, from $99/mo, and it's free for parents, so there is nothing to pass on to families.
Can cameras be paid for with grant or subsidy funds?
Often. Many quality-improvement and facility grants cover safety and technology upgrades, and a monthly software subscription on existing cameras is a small, easy line item to justify. Check with your grant administrator; we can provide a simple written quote for applications.
Do Head Start or state-funded programs have extra rules about cameras?
Camera rules come from your state licensing agency rather than funding source in most cases, but publicly funded programs should document a written policy and notify staff and families. CareCam is video-only with per-family access, which keeps the policy simple. See our state law guide and free policy templates.
Do staff and volunteers need to consent?
For video-only cameras in shared areas, most states don't require individual consent, but you should notify staff and volunteers and document it. Because CareCam records no audio to parents, the stricter all-party audio consent question doesn't arise. Confirm your state's rules.
Can we use the security cameras we already own?
Often yes. If your existing IP cameras support RTSP/ONVIF, CareCam can usually add parent viewing on top of them. Send us the models and we'll confirm compatibility.
