Our center uses Procare, a phone app you can use with your cellular device or email address. This childcare app is used to track sign in and out, manage classroom ratios, capture classroom milestones, communicate with families, track incidents electronically, share photos and short videos, manage tuition payments, invoice parents or payers and email receipts. This app helps you stay in touch with your child’s community. We can invite parents, grandparents, nannies, and friends if you wish for them to see what is going on and have access to your child’s day. This option is per your discretion.
Infants will have all diapering, feedings, and naps logged daily. Documentation will be done in real time whenever possible but will be caught up within one hour as per Utah Child Care Licensing requirements. The priority will be to the routine care documentation and days that are smoother than others will be enhanced with photos, mood updates, developmental milestones and other such fun things to keep you connected throughout your workday. Remember that the health and safety needs of all children are priority to updates on this app.
Toddlers (children one- and two-years old) will have recorded diapering – we will do so during potty training until they are fully trained. We will continue to input all meal times and nap times as a collective of the group moving away from the individual measures we reported when your little one was under one year. We will update milestones frequently. You will see their messy art activities, play with friends, water and sand activities, and outside play. Your child is learning from all that play; we want to share as much of it as allowable in a teacher’s busy day.
Preschool children (3-5 years old) will use Procare to share pictures and videos as well as capture milestones of learning. We will continue to report potty accidents, meal times, and nap times for children in this age group. Moods, social emotional growth, messy art, science activities, group times will be posted 2-3 times weekly as the group becomes larger and finding time to make sure everyone is represented daily becomes more challenging. We still want you to feel connected to your child, so every effort will be put into connecting you through communication and photo sharing.
School age children will use Procare as a platform to clock your students out as they arrive to their elementary school and back in as we pick them up. We will also share proud moments for them via notes, mood reporting, short videos and photos. Parents of school age students can also message changes in school bussing requirements or needs. Summer Camp field trip supply needs, drop off and pick up needs for field trips or outings will also be found here.
