Owner 

Parent is very easy to access we use it daily and the transition from a different app to parent was super easy the team at parent are very supportive and available to communicate with them anytime.

Principal 

Customer support is amazing. Friendly efficient feedback and the software does what it’s supposed to do.

Management/ teacher 

It is easy, handy and awesome way to go paperless on passing out documents to the parents. I find the support team is very helpful.

Assistant Director

Our experience with Parent has been successful, as we saw its full benefit during the COVID years.

Nursery principal 

All the features on the app are focused on early years education and is super easy to use.

Marketing Manager

We have saved so much of our budget from not having to print so much and now we can use that budget esle where. The app is definately worth it.

It is still beeing developed and minor defects have to be sorted out.

I absolutely love the inspirations library; it makes it so fast and easy to prepare activities and serves as a database for all our activities that we can easily find and use again.

Head of Early Years

They will always respond to any queries that we have and action immediately. I have used a range of apps for Early Years and Parent App is by far the most user friendly and effective.

Administrative Supervisor

The convenience of tracking children progress and status at ease.

Branch Manager

The application truly stands out for its simplicity and effectiveness.

Pædagogisk assistent/Kindergarten teacher 

It's easy to use and has a lot of possibilities and the opportunity to costumize.

It's simplicity and ease of use not only for our Early Years Educators but for our parents too.

Manager

It’s nursery /parent application so if the parent  don’t use it correctly  and doesn’t coordinate with us ,I think we will have lack on this apo.

Broken down many times and gave us trouble signing in many times.

Nursery Manager

Cause while creating the event calendar multiple messages goes to parents which sometimes annoys them.

Lesson Planning

myKidzDay

Owner

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.

I love the app, it’s easy to use and affordable. Out of each app that I have used working for other centers, I can honestly say that Mykidzday is amazing.

Executive Director

Excellent for attendance and the customer service is extremely responsive and friendly. Easy to use for parents and our young staff members.

Education

Great for daycare operations, interface is user friendly and they provide time to time information of the child. It is available on App store which is the best.

Daycare Owner

They are thrilled I switched back and this will create an even stronger trust between myself and my daycare parents because I listened to THEIR needs.

I saved a ton of time and lots of money in paper and ink. My parents love the ease and functionality of it.

Childminder

I love that mykidzday offers so many opportunities to log all aspects of the business. From daily logs, to assessment and attendance and so much more.

Teacher

My overall experience is great. I have recommended the app to others.

Director

It's not good your staff lied to us. We made the mistake of telling the family their child was getting the iPad for Christmas, and now they are not; it's in 2 days.

Overall, this has been the best child care app I have ever used. And if my phone is dead or I’m using it I can easily wait in line for the tablet so that’s great.

Center Coordinator

It is easy to use, and it helps with completing data daily. It is easy for the staff to take attendance.

Software Developer

Makes communication a breeze and quicker then phonecalls or sending home papers. Love that they can send pictures of my daughter throughout the day.

We contacted MyKidzDay and the conference administrator, but there was still no iPad or response.

Deputy Clerk

Sometimes a bad night leads to a sleepy day and with my early morning/late evening work hours, it’s hard for me to get in touch with the teacher.

I dislike that we can't email back from our work email straight to the parent when they message us through the app to center info.

Education Director

The app has been very easy to implement with staff and MyKidzDay provides training videos and tech support.
