Daily Connect (Child Care)
As soon as an event is saved, it is immediately synchronized on each parent and caregiver account. Everybody has access to the information in real time.
You can record not only feedings, nursing, naps, diapers, milestones, pumping, but also the baby’s mood, temperature, what kind of game he’s playing, his gps location, and attach pictures. A web interface is also accessible for free at http://www.dailyconnect.com, so parents and and child care centers don't need an Android phone or an iPhone to view and enter information.
Daily Connect helps giving a better care for the child thanks to a better knowledge of his rhythm and a better communication between each caregiver.
***********For child care centers:
- Parents are less worried leaving their child to you
- Easier communication in between caregiver shift change
- Improve parent satisfaction by giving them detailed information and peace of mind
- Better accuracy of record, better parent retention, better communication with them
- Competitive edge on your peers
- Easy and rapid entry of information with one touch / one click interface
- No more lost or incomplete daily sheets
***********Parents know immediately what their kid is doing during the day. They don't have to wait for the end of the day to find out what happened. They can connect to their account anytime, whether they are at work, at home or away on a trip. It reduces the anxiety of being away from the child not knowing what's happening. Parents will be less stressed and more relaxed leaving their child at the day care.
Parents can also enter information when the baby is at home. For instance they can tell when the baby woke up in the morning before going to the day care, or when and how much he ate. The day care staff will also have access to this information. This information trail is also useful for day care shift change, and when the baby is going back home.
The information from previous days is easily accessible. Parents and caregivers can easily see what happened the previous day to find out if new patterns are emerging. For instance changes in the nap schedule, or a new feeding habit. They can also see what activity the child has done the previous day to develop a new activity or a new skill the next day.

App doesn't update regularly for me even though I paid for the app, and I have a solid internet connection. Multiple times a week my child's care provider will ask me if I've received any updates at pick up, I will report 'no', and then be shown all the updates that were inputted. I have used other free apps and never had an issue as large as this with regular updates.
Very good app to be able to see your children grow in daycare. Capturing good moments. It also allows for great interaction
This app is so helpful on keeping updated on my little one at daycare!
It is good for what it does and it does make me feel connected. I get photos, I can message teachers, I get notifications for supplies needed, and a general run down of the day. My only real complaints are that it is not that attractive and navigation is not intuitive.
Pretty straightforward and really useful for keeping parents in the loop
Very informative on how my child is doing. Definitely recommend this app.
Looked like a promising app, but login and register pages were the same and I couldn't create an account. Didn't work for me.
As a childcare director and a parent I wish this app was more user friendly. I am constantly having to shut the app down and restart it just to see what.ive inputted. Often times it doesn't link up with the parents phones as well as it should. We've also had issues with the app closing out on us while parents are trying to sign their child in. This is okay if the parent is still standing there, but if they've left in a rush we have a child left not signed in.
Fix the bugs. Would be a great app of you didn't run into so many issues with things not showing up when entered. It has been more trouble then worth it trying to talk owner into doing a different app! Update on my review ITS NOT internet issue as we have had that changed and Update to faster internet and STILL have issues 🙃
This app is fine and functional and I get information about my daughter while she is at daycare. However, the functionality could be greatly improved: 1.I think it is ridiculous that there isn't a reply function in the messaging area - it's a small detail, but would make it much more user friendly. 2. Why do I have the same interface that I presume the teachers have? Why do I have edit access to the messages they send me? That makes no sense. Consider having a different interface for parents
I've used the daily connect app for about 5yrs within my childminding setting. It is very flexible and easy to use for both parents and carers. I have recommended it to many friends over the years. Not only is it useful and user friendly,it is also good value for money.
Pretty cool app my daycare provider uses. It's nice receiving pictures throughout the day and knowing total sleep times and feeding amounts. Additionally, data can be graphed to see patterns. Works great.
This is an awesome app for schools. We are implementing it in our private school and look forward to using it to make documentation efficient and reduce paper usage. Very professional and friendly developer as well.
It is a great way to stay in touch with the care givers. I like the icons that say when were the last feeding, nap, and diaper change. One improvement would be to make it easier to see who sent a message from the home screen.
Great app for keeping parents and family updated throughout the day. Love it.
The app worked fine when my children were in a daycare that used it. My children are no longer in the daycare that used this app due to questionable practices at the daycare but I can't deactivate my account without removing them as caregivers for 2 years or getting their permission... There should be a way for a parent to deactivate the account or at least stop a provider from being able to keep it active.
Why did you change what was working to make it more difficult?! We have to use the app at the childcare center where i work. I use the dashboard and other screen quite often. Now i have to click too many times to get to the dashboard. Thanks for lengthening the time i spend inputting info.
It needs bug fixes. It is not working properly on my phone. I need to reinstall it almost every day because it is not working. Navigation has problems. Sometimes I can't switch into rooms
soo awesome to have!! being able to just click on the app and see when my child has eaten or gone potty... Super easy and it helps ease my worries mommy mind while I'm away from my little girl!!
Great! Great image quality in the photos and enjoy the messaging portion. A tad slow in push notifications and updates, but it's okay.
Been using this app for a few years now and never had any problems. It's very user friendly. My only concern is how slow the pictures take to upload. And the parents love it! I always post our daily activities and plenty of pictures.
