Account summary dashboard

Summary Dashboard

At a glance: account balance, recent ledger history, outstanding notifications, balance reminders, birthday alerts, and messages from staff — all on the home screen the moment parents open the app.

Ledger activity

Ledger Activity

All credits and debits display in a clear ledger view. Parents get a detailed breakdown of charges and payments, reducing billing confusion and unnecessary calls to your office.

Photo gallery / daily journal

Daily Journal & Photo Gallery

With eServices, staff capture key moments throughout the day — nap time, activities, field trips — and parents see them in real time. Staff can also share documents such as medical forms and field trip approvals directly through the app.

Attendance tracking

Attendance Tracking

Parents see in real time when their children are dropped off and picked up, and by whom. Full transparency builds trust with families.

Electronic payments

Electronic Payments

ChildWatch ePay (optional) makes it simple for parents to pay by credit card or eCheck. Payment info is managed securely off-site by each parent — staff never handle sensitive data. Parents can update payment methods anytime, without contacting your office.

Secure login

Secure Login

Parents securely register their devices and log in with pre-established credentials. Security is built in from the first screen.

Immunization tracking

Immunization Tracking

Parents see a quick summary of past-due and upcoming immunization records for each child — keeping everyone informed and compliant.

Information update

Self-Service Information Update

Parents keep their own contact information current — phone numbers, addresses, passwords, emergency contacts (doctor, dentist, family friends). Less data-entry for your staff.

Two-way messaging

Two-Way Messaging

Staff and parents stay in close touch. Playground incidents, balance reminders, fee changes — messages are sent instantly. Parents can reply, and staff see when messages are read, closing the communication loop.
