Rowsta Daycare
Every child’s day on record, from drop‑off to pickup
Caregivers write the day down as it happens, and each child goes home only with someone the family approved. For daycares, crèches and day nurseries in Ghana and Nigeria.
- First term half price
- Parents never pay
- Cedis or naira
Parents want to know about their child’s day, and a paper sign-in sheet can’t tell them.
Calls all morning about bottles and naps, nobody sure what time a child arrived, someone at the door with no list to check them against, and fees found owing only after going through payment alerts. Rowsta keeps the door, the day and the fees on record.

The day, on the phone in her hand
Caregivers tick the children and log what just happened on an ordinary phone, while the manager sees every room from the office or from home. Rowsta runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install.

- Each member of staff sees only what their role allows
- Your daycare’s records kept apart from everyone else’s on Rowsta
- Encrypted connections between your browser and Rowsta
- Passwords stored only in a scrambled form
- Repeated wrong sign-in attempts blocked
