As a childcare service, there is typically a large amount of information and data to share with parents, guardians and families.
But what is the most important information to share?
There are three main areas that childcare services should focus on:
- Invoices and Statements
It is vital that parents can view receipts, invoices, and statements. Being able to keep track of bills will help parents avoid missing payments and allow them to manage their transactions with your service more effectively.
- Educator Profiles
Educator profiles help parents get to know who exactly is looking after their children while they are in care. Areas such as qualifications, background, experience, and hobbies are all relevant pieces of information that should be shared with parents/guardians.
- Learning Observations
It can be frustrating for parents not being able to experience the positive learning outcomes practiced by their child. Recording and presenting activities, results and challenges can be extremely beneficial for both parents and services.
Child Care Central’s ‘Parent Portal’ accommodates each of these features – and more. Parents can access the Parent Portal on almost any device, and instantly view information shared by services and educators.
From invoicing to learning observations, the Parent Portal has you covered. Additional features include news and themes/customisation.
Users can also upload a snapshot of a child’s day using ‘Daily Care’ activities. Services can log when a child eats, drinks, naps, uses the toilet and more! This keeps parents informed on what their child is doing daily. To access ‘Daily Care’, services must order the ‘Program & Practices’ module.
