Parent Portal

The “Parent Portal” is an innovative tool which enables your centre to allow the parents to use the internet to securely share in the learning experiences of their children, events at your centre, newsletters etc. Parents will have their own personal username and password which will limit their access to their child’s information only. This information can be in a range of formats: basic notes, word documents, jpeg’s, pdf’s and media files etc.

Like with other internet sites, parents will be able to log in at their leisure to see the latest news and stories pertaining to their child, and your centre. Using the existing Infocare “Notes” function, you can easily upload the files of your choice by selecting whether to “Show Parent” or not.

There are three sections of information that can be shared with parents depending on your requirements.

1. Child Gallery – This is where individual children’s learning stories, portfolios, notes etc will be available for parents to view. Parents will only be able to see their child’s information.
2. Centre Gallery – This is where Information and notes about your centre that are for public viewing will be available for parents to view. These could include things like newsletters, policies, public health notices etc.
3. Child’s Account – This is where a specific child’s transaction information and account balance will be available for the parents to view. Parents will only be able to see their child’s information.

Two additional areas which are automatically available when parent access is set up to the Parent Portal are “Change Password” and “Contact Us”.

To get the parent portal enabled for your centre, or to find out more information about this module, please contact our support desk.
