Family Communication
Keep families close to every moment
One shared feed replaces the group chats, printed notes, and after-hours texts. Families see what happened today, and your team answers on their own schedule.
What you can do
One shared inbox
Messages arrive in a single team inbox instead of personal phones, so nothing is lost when an educator is off.
Room and center announcements
Send a closure notice, event reminder, or newsletter to one room or every family at once.
Automatic translation
Families read updates in their preferred language, and replies come back translated for your team.
Quiet hours
Set the hours when notifications hold, so families still get updates without your staff being on call.
How it works
Invite your families
Bulk-invite parents and guardians by email. Each child can have several caregivers, each with their own access.
Post as your day happens
Share a photo, a note, or a whole-room update in a few taps from the classroom.
Reply on your terms
Answer from the team inbox during planning time, with read receipts confirming the message landed.
Why centers switch
- Fewer pickup-time questions, because families already know how the day went
- Staff phone numbers stay private
- Every conversation with a family is recorded in one searchable place
- Multilingual families get the same experience as everyone else
Common questions
Yes. Messages route to a room or center inbox by default, and you decide which staff can see or reply to each thread.
The mobile app is the best experience, but families can also read and reply from email or the web.
Every message, announcement, and read receipt is retained and exportable.
