Running a crèche is hard enough. The admin shouldn't be the hardest part.
The DBE pays R24 per child, per day. But only if your register is correct, complete, and in the right format. One missing page costs you thousands.
Every month, the same parents. The same conversations. The same half-promises. Your collection rate stays stuck at 60% while you chase individually.
A parent asks for last month's fee statement. A learner's intake form is in a drawer somewhere. Your register is half in a notebook, half on your phone. Small admin tasks take 30 minutes to sort out.
Every tool an ECD owner needs — from the first enrolment to monthly admin — in one clean interface. Works for DOE-registered and private centres.
Mark attendance on your phone in under 2 minutes. Zande builds the DBE register automatically in the format your province requires. Submit at month-end — no reformatting.
Full learner profiles, age groups, fee classes, enrolment dates. Online applications go straight into your pending list — you approve with one click.
Record payments, track outstanding balances, send PDF statements by email. WhatsApp reminders go out automatically so you never chase manually again.
Track every document, certificate, and inspection date. Get notified 30 days before anything expires.
Log incidents, notify parents, maintain records. All timestamped and stored.
Staff records, SACE certificates, employment contracts, leave tracking — all in one place.
Monthly collection summaries, outstanding reports, and audit-ready records exported in one click.
For DOE-registered centres, the subsidy only pays out if your attendance register is correct every single day. Miss a day and you lose the claim for that child. Zande takes attendance on your phone and builds the register automatically — in the exact format your province requires.
No IT support. No training. No consultant. Just you and your phone.
Register, name your centre, set your age groups and fees. Takes 10 minutes. No card required.
Add learners manually or upload a spreadsheet. Import from Excel in two clicks. We map the columns.
Take attendance on your phone. Send fee statements. Export your DOE register. That's it.
Zande wasn't designed in an office park. It runs a real ECD centre every single morning.
Zande runs the daily attendance, fee tracking, and DOE registers at a real 114-learner crèche in Hazyview, Mpumalanga — the centre it was built in. Every month-end register you export, we export too.
We didn't imagine these problems. We chase the same fees, reconcile the same unmatched EFTs, submit to the same district offices, and answer to the same DOE deadlines as you do.
Every feature has to survive a real morning at the centre — 6:45 drop-off, one phone, patchy signal, a queue of parents. If it doesn't work there, it doesn't ship.
