Enterprise-Grade Security
Protect your center from liability
We built hayway around a "Guardian-First" architecture. If it's not in hayway, it didn't happen.
Guardian-First Security
Ensure that only authorized individuals can access child data or handle check-ins. Verified via strict biometric links or secure one-time PINs.
Immutable Incident Log
Digital signatures and time-stamped incident reports that cannot be edited or deleted after signing. Build an undeniable paper trail to protect your liability.
Role-Based Access
Teachers can only see the children in their assigned room. Directors see the whole center. Parents only see their own children. Privacy enforced at the database level.
Switching is effortless.
Send us your student roster via Excel, PDF, or a photo of your current clipboard. We handle the entire backend migration for you, free of charge.
