Cue gives teachers their evenings back, and gives parents their child's whole day. Learning Stories draft themselves from a teacher's voice notes, instead of being typed up after bedtime. Photos sort by face automatically, so nobody scrolls a shared camera roll looking for one child. Attendance is one tap. Every teacher's week is scheduled automatically, ratios and all. The paperwork disappears, the teaching stays, and what a teacher captures reaches parents the same day. Cue is the app a preschool runs on: parents and teachers share it, each with a feed built for them. Cue comes from your child's school, so if your school runs on Cue, sign in with the invite they sent you. FOR PARENTS Every morning you hand your child to someone else, and the day disappears into questions. Cue answers them. Photos: every photo, sorted for you. Moments: every observation, shared as it happens. Care Logs: children don't talk yet. Their teachers do. Meals, naps and nappies, logged and sent to you. Stories: the Learning Stories your child's teacher writes about them. Report Card: a term of learning, written up from the anecdotes, evidence and rubrics gathered along the way. Chat: a direct line to the classroom. Write to School: report an illness, an allergy, a medication request or a complaint, in writing. Calendar: the whole year, planned and shared. Announcements: notices parents actually read. Events: events, trips and RSVPs, together. Transportation: school transport, in the same feed. Drop-off & Pick-up: both ends of the day, handled in the app. Request Leave: tell the school when your child will be away. Book Meeting: pick a meeting type and a slot that suits you. Forms & Surveys: consent and forms, signed in-app. FOR TEACHERS Your classroom, at a glance. Open the app and the day's work is already surfaced: what needs you, today. Unit Planning: August is planned. So is December. Weekly Planning: every week, planned block by block. Resources: the school's resource library, in the app. Photos: sorted by face, automatically. Moments: speak the observation, and it reaches parents as it happens. Stories: Learning Stories drafted from those observations, minus the late nights. Assessment: every child marked on the framework you already teach, whether that's EYFS, HighScope, Head Start or your school's own. Report Card: built from the evidence already logged. Attendance: check-ins, down to the minute. Check-In: the staff roster for the day, with entry and exit times. Care Logs: log it once, every parent sees it. Chat: parent chat, organised by child. Announcements and Calendar: notices out, the year shared. Excusals: the leave requests parents send, waiting in one queue. FOR THE SCHOOL Sixteen modules for parents. Fifteen for teachers. One login, every classroom and every family, in one calm feed. A director gets one system to administer, and one place to look. Teachers get a lighter week. Parents ask less, because the app answers first. Weekly rosters are scheduled automatically around ratios, so nobody builds the timetable by hand, and a daily-work view surfaces what needs a teacher today, so nothing waits on memory. One app, both sides of the gate: what a school runs on, and what a family checks each evening.
