Exciting New Features Update!

We're thrilled to announce several enhancements that have been implemented and enabled over the past few weeks to improve your experience:

Security Enhancements

We've strengthened our security measures, allowing you to set custom privileges for administrators, control access to specific components, and fine-tune parent and teacher permissions.

• Two-factor authentication: Add an extra layer of protection to your account. This can be enabled in the Account Settings page on the web application.

• Staff privileges: Set special privileges for each administrator. For instance, you can prevent some administrators from accessing the Parent Billing component, or modifying your settings. This can be set in the Staff section on the web application.

• Parent restrictions: control parent abilities such as saving entries, sending messages to staff, or modifying their home page customization. This can be set in the new ChildCare Settings > Security page.

• Teacher restrictions: Prevent teachers from modifying their customization or deleting parent entries

• Delayed synchronization: Opt to send information to parents only at the end of the day, rather than in real-time. This can be set in ChildCare Settings > Settings

Children's Immunization Tracking

Our new immunization component lets you:

• Set requirements based on your local regulations

• Allow parents to upload proof of immunization

• Track overdue immunizations and generate reports for licensing purposes

Staff Certification Management

Keep track of staff certifications with optional expiration dates and receive timely alerts for renewals. 

Mobile Application Admin Section

Perform key administrative tasks on the go with our iPhone and Android apps, including:

• Sending invoices

• Collecting payments

• Changing your sign-in kiosk options

• Adjusting global settings for your organization

Parent Communication

We've added new options to improve communication:

• Location option in the Name To Face category

• Reaction emojis for most categories

• ♥️ Like and comment feature for photos, messages, and other entries. This feature is still in Beta testing, contact us if you would like to try it out.

Improved Parent Billing

• Easily track deposits, process partial refunds, allow parents to pay more than their due amount, export invoices and transactions, and access several new reports.

• For online payments, we’ve added information to the Payout report for easier reconciliation with your bank account.

• We're excited to introduce attendance-based billing. This new feature automatically generates invoices based on hours or days of attendance, including options for after-hours surcharges. Contact us if you're interested in trying out this feature.

We're constantly working to improve your experience. If you have any questions about these new features or would like to provide feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support!
