The KOVnet Ouderapp offers your childcare the following: In the notebook, the leaders regularly write messages about your child's day and you can do it yourself - leave a comment. Some shelter locations also take nice photos that you can view here and of course you can download. If your location uses the notebook, you have the option to download the notebook. Via the app you can request a change if you want to exchange a day or request an extra day or a day off. As soon as your request has been processed, you will receive the response directly in the app. If your child is ill, or if something else intervenes that prevents you from bringing your child to daycare, you can easily deregister your child. All invoices and annual overviews and newsletters can be found here and can be viewed and downloaded immediately. Your childcare can also use a chat function so that you as a parent can chat 1 on 1 with the group.
