Keep Parents Connected — On Any Device
The ChildWatch® Family App gives parents easy account access, two-way messaging with staff, electronic payments, and real-time attendance tracking — from their Android or iOS device. Parents love it; it reduces your phone calls.
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
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.
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
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
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
Parents securely register their devices and log in with pre-established credentials. Security is built in from the first screen.
Immunization Tracking
Parents see a quick summary of past-due and upcoming immunization records for each child — keeping everyone informed and compliant.
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
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.
