ANN ARBOR – The National Association for Family Child Care will use Child Car Daily App?s web-based program to NAFCC members to improve parent-provider communication, increase efficiency and help meet state quality requirements.
NAFCC, the largest association of family child care providers in the US, will offer discounted rates on Child Care Daily App?s communication, organization and recordkeeping web tool to its 7000 members.
There are over 200,000 state regulated child care providers who care for children in their homes. While many industries have benefited from advances in technology to improve business operations, child care remains largely a paper-based business.
As more states institute Quality Rating and Improvement Systems ? a rating system designed to give customers an understanding of the quality of child care providers ? providers are also seeking tools to comply with program requirements, which include parent-provider communications, recordkeeping and staff development.
?NAFCC is excited to offer this tool to our members, we believe it will help them provide a professional way to track the wonderful work they do with children every day and share this information with parents and state agencies,? said NAFCC President Patricia Dischler. ?The system is very simple to use, literally a click, which will save providers many precious minutes that can now be focused on the children rather than the paperwork.?
The partnership will offer Child Care Daily App?s communication and management web tool to NAFCC?s family care provider members for a reduced monthly fee. There are no registration fees, no minimum commitments and free support.
?As parents, we can track the pizza we?ve ordered on our computers and smart phones as it?s made, but when we drop our children off at child care, we have no idea what?s happening until we pick them up at the end of the day,? said Bill Collins, Chief Operating Officer for Child Care Daily App. ?Our founders are child care providers, too, and they saw a way to make providers? jobs easier, while giving parents peace of mind.?
