How to get help
Every way to reach NestliCare support, what each one is good for, and how fast to expect an answer. Includes the in-app support thread and NestliAI.
Support is free and included for every account, whether you run a 3-child home daycare or a multi-center organization. There is no support tier and no paid priority queue.

Message us from inside NestliCare
Every owner, admin, teacher, and parent has a direct thread with our team. Open Messages → NestliCare Support on the web dashboard or in the app and reply. It arrives at a real person, and the conversation stays there so you never lose the history. This is the best place to report something that looks wrong: tell us what you expected and what happened, and a screenshot helps.
[email protected]. We typically respond within 24 hours. Include your organization name and, for billing questions, the invoice number.
Hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time, excluding major US holidays. Messages sent outside those hours are answered the next business day, and urgent outages are watched around the clock.
The chat assistant on the website and help center
The chat bubble on nestlicare.com and on every help page answers from these help articles and links the article it used. It cannot see your account, so it is good for "how do I" and "does NestliCare do X" questions, and it will point you to email for anything account-specific.
NestliAI inside the dashboard
NestliAI answers questions about your organization from your live data: enrollment counts, unpaid invoices, today's attendance, upcoming birthdays, and how to do things in NestliCare. It runs in the web dashboard and in the app's Admin tab, for admins only. It does not see other organizations and never changes anything without asking. See Admin on your phone.
Parents and teachers
If you were invited by your daycare, start with the daycare for questions about your child's records, invoices, or schedule, since the daycare controls those. For app problems (can't log in, something looks broken), reply in your NestliCare Support thread or email us. Owners can resend an invitation from the web dashboard; see Why hasn't a parent received their invite? and A parent can't log in.
What we cannot do over support
We do not offer discounts, custom pricing, or paid add-ons, because there is nothing to charge for. See Is NestliCare really free?. We also never ask you to email us your family list or any child's records; if setup help is needed, we do it with you inside your account.
