Managing daily activities in childcare can feel like a whirlwind. From naptime to snack breaks, art projects, and outdoor play, there’s a lot to keep track of. But the real challenge? Communicating all of these activities to parents in a way that’s efficient, informative, and engaging.
That’s where a childcare management system, like MyKidReports, comes in handy. Let’s break down how you can better manage activities in your center and keep parents updated with ease.
1. Keep Parents Connected with Real-Time Updates
Parents love staying connected with their child’s day, especially when they’re away at work. The best way to do this is through real-time updates.
With MyKidReports, you can send instant notifications to parents as activities happen.
Whether it’s nap time, snack time, or an art project, parents can receive updates in real-time, giving them peace of mind throughout the day.
2. Share Daily Activities with Ease
Gone are the days of handwritten notes or printed activity reports. Simplify the process by using technology to share daily activities with both parents and staff.
MyKidReports lets you easily share what children did during the day—whether it’s a fun game, nap, or lunchtime routine—with just a few clicks. This not only saves time but also keeps everyone on the same page.
3. Use Photos and Videos to Make it Personal
Parents love to see their child in action. A simple photo or short video clip can make their day and offer a glimpse into what their child is learning and enjoying.
MyKidReports makes sharing photos and videos simple, so you can quickly capture and send highlights of a child’s day.
These visual updates make parents feel more connected to their child's experiences.
4. Set Reminders for Important Activities
One of the biggest challenges in childcare is managing the various activities and needs for each child—whether it’s nap schedules, snack times, or administering medication. These small tasks require attention to detail and can easily be forgotten in a busy day.
With MyKidReports, you can set reminders for key activities like naps, drinks, and medications. This ensures that every child gets the care they need, right on time.
5. Automatically Generated Student Feeds
Manually tracking and updating parents on every child’s day can be time-consuming. But what if you had a system that did it for you?

Accidents and incidents happen—it’s part of childcare. But how you communicate these situations to parents is crucial.
With MyKidReports, you can quickly notify parents about any incidents—whether it’s a minor fall or a skipped nap—through instant messaging. This proactive communication helps build trust and transparency with families.
