The first app designed by a former childcare center Director. Included are helpful attendance reminders (for both parents and providers), easy access to authorized adult information, allergy information, Individuals Education Programs (IEP), custody considerations, and medical information. Our app also keeps all communication within it so admin and staff can quickly communicate with families. Activities (such as classroom/curriculum work) can be easily updated for parent view. Immediate incident report notifications are sent out with pictures. Daily reports include supply request notifications for families. Payments are processed within the app with clear recordkeeping for the facility and the family.
