Technology is an ever changing cycle in our society with no end in sight. The latest technology can be a great influence over a parents decision on choosing your center versus other centers.
Are Camera’s Right for You?
With this age of uncertainty, child abuse, and intruders, the fear of protecting our children has became a main concern in a childcare setting. Many centers, especially corporate based centers, offer a closed camera system like “Grow With Me” for parents to have access to seeing their children throughout the day. This not only helps you as the director to view your staff and children, but also gives the parents a great sense of comfort knowing that they can view anytime.
If you currently dont have a system in place, I would consider this as a very important investment to help gain more new parents.
Are your Doors Locked?
A great and affordable way to keep your children safe at your facility is to install a keypad system on you
r front door. There are many options from a complete computer CRM with Keypad system or a simple keypad from Home Depot for $50. Either way you choose to go, this little device can protect our children your staff, and you from any outside intruders.
Daily Notes a Hassle?
One of the great new perks of technology is an app like “BrightWheel”. You can send notes home daily, gives the parent updates on infant feeding, sleeping, and diapering schedule as they are entered, daily photos, and more. This is a great option for parents who are very involved and would like to know as things happen. Plus with this app, you can save paper and time.
So if your center doesn't
have the basics, consider these three options to add to your services that can help parents decide to enroll with you versus your competitor.
