myKidzDay

Pros: It's great to be able to communicate in real-time with families. I do not have to worry about paper.

Cons: I wish the lesson plan had more features to add details and opportunities for activities, learning goals, and state standards.

Pros: ease of communication with staff and summary of my child's activities. love the memory feature and ability to keep track of what's going on while im not with my child

Cons: format and function a little antiquated. The app itself can use design update and the features are a little clunky, but overall it gets the job done.

Pros: I like the daily updates for bottles and diapers. It’s nice to see when they start and end the naps!

Cons: The interface is very clunky. The messaging back and forth is strange because sometimes we get messages on one tab and sometimes on the other. The intake form could be better as well or on its own tab entirely. Maybe this is daycare specific but the pictures they send are terrible. I’m guessing they have to use the iPads there to take the photos but they are grainy and blurry every time. Half of the staff doesn’t send them in the correct tab also so then we can’t even “heart” them to add them to the photo tab. For how far tech has come the app looks like a beginners coding app with a pretty basic looking interface.

Pros: The daily activity tracking is helpful and it’s convenient having check-ins, meals, naps, and photos all in one place. It gives a quick snapshot of how the day went without having to ask staff for every detail.

Cons: The interface feels a bit dated and could be more intuitive in some areas. Moving between sections can take more taps than expected, and the app can occasionally feel slow.

Pros: I love how easy it is to document each child's day. Aside from documenting naps, potties, and meals, I can also document curriculum in which the children participate.

Cons: The interface is a little confusing to navigate at first. It took me a couple months to access everything with ease.

Pros: We like the ease of messaging families directly. We also love using the app for attendance and tracking.

Cons: We wish there was font options in messaging. We frequently send reminders about upcoming events and important dates. Being able to bold or underline or highlight would be a huge improvement for us!

Pros: I like being able to track my children's attendance. Parents can tell when the child arrives at school and leave school,

Cons: I love everything about the my Kidz day app. It is very useful and user friendly. The parents are able to use it too.

Pros: Great value for the money. The communication tools are perfect for chatting with parents and schools as a whole and also the check in aspect is perfect.

Cons: I don't love the format of the app in being intuitively easy for users. It takes some time to get a hold of how to use it.

Pros: The price for the usage is incredible. It has everything I need from budgeting, taxes, parent communication, lesson planning, and attendance with helpful videos to learn how to use each feature. myKidzday has amazing customer support with helpful, kind, and timely responses.

Cons: I wish there was an app for admin for home childcare providers who are on the move instead of at a desk!

Pros: When I first learned about myKidzDay, it was so easy to use. I enjoyed the staff management. Being able to manage the attendance in a timely manner. Being about to manage the classrooms with ease was a definite plus. When I was a parent I loved being able to communicate with the teachers through the app. It was so easy to let the staff know about absences or tardiness. It's also easy to explain to new parents how to use.

Cons: There was really nothing that I liked least about myKidzday. I can not find anything wrong with myKidzday.

Pros: Customer support is fast and helpful. Easy to communicate with all the parents right at once. Very little issues while using the app. Very user friendly.

Cons: The parents are not able to open the app and see what their running total payment is. I have to resend an invoice everytime.

Pros: Using the MyKidzDay app has made communication between staff and parents so incredibly easy! Parents don't need to contact the coordinator on their personal number and the staff don't feel out of the loop on information!

Cons: Parents have said they receive notifications about messages later than when they are sent, however that could solely be based on their service at the time of the notification!

Pros: I really like how easy it is to communicate with parents and share daily updates, photos, and reports. It helps keep everyone informed and connected. The app is simple to use and saves a lot of time in managing children’s activities and attendance.

Cons: Sometimes the app runs a bit slow or takes time to upload pictures. It would also be nice to have more flexibility in customizing reports or adding notes.

Pros: I love the communicate factor. It is very easy for the staff members to see who has messaged and when.

Cons: I do not like that the parents are unable to customize their own information. It would be very helpful if parent could update contact information, pick up authorization list and contact pictures.

Pros: Value for money and parent communication. Overall, I did like all of the features from the app that they are offering.

Cons: Health checklists are not on pdf downloadable only on spreadsheet and when downloading the form all the cells are uneven takes a long time to put them back together.

Pros: It is a great app so parents can sign in/out and get information about the school. Also, the teacher can sign in/out very convenient.

Cons: We do not like that we can send only one video per activity or only five pictures per activity. The video has to be only 45 seconds.

Pros: Our staff especially loves the daily digital QR check in and out feature, parent/teacher communication chat option, financial management/billing and customer training and support.

Cons: I wish staff could see chat comments sent from the director to parents, so information wouldn't be duplicated.

Pros: Value for money, detailed daily activity options; love show detailed the activities are broken down by developmental milestones.

Cons: The accounting feature is very un-user friendly. It’s not as easy to use as Brightwheel and the streamlining the enrollment document process.

Pros: The parents are able to have access to Mykidzday. Being able to communicate with the teaching staff. As well as it being easy to use with swiping in and out the children present.

Cons: The least thing is when we mark them dismissed. Our front office staff says that it still shows present when they've been marked dismissed.

Pros: The customer support is amazing! Any time i have a question about how something works, i can call and get immediate support!

Cons: Sometimes its laggy and Parents cant get it to come up. Could be my internet. The hourly total hasnt been adding for staff so ive been doing it manually

Pros: Checking in and out with the children is a great service to our center. Staff is happy to use this app

Cons: I like all service so I have no complaints about this service. I hope we continue to lose this service.

Pros: It is easy to use and very convenient. There are little to no bugs or issues and it is great for child and parent management.

Cons: I haven’t had any issues with this platform. We use it mostly for attendance and parent communication and it helps us a ton with our work load.
