For a parent, that first notification of the day—seeing a photo of their child smiling or seeing that they actually ate their broccoli—is an emotional win. It transforms the daycare experience from a "drop-off and pray" scenario into a collaborative partnership. Pros Real-Time Transparency: The ability for parents to see exactly when their child ate, napped, or had a diaper change the second it’s logged. It eliminates the "black box" feel of daycare. Cons The "Glitchy" Sync: One of the biggest headaches is the delay between devices. A teacher might stop a sleep timer on a tablet, but on the parent’s phone, it still looks like the child has been napping for 14 hours. It requires frequent manual refreshing. Review Source Physical therapy Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Average app so far" December 22, 2025 5.0 Pros I have used daily connect to communicate with day care providers. You can get messages sent to the day are provider rather than texting them. Cons It was difficult to get started on daily connect, not sure if the provider had issues or it was an issue of the app. Review Source Senior Consultant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great way to keep my child close" January 18, 2019 5.0 Pros Our daycare provider uses Daily Connect to keep us updated with our children during the day. For our infant, it's a great way to make sure he's eating enough and having enough diapers. For our 3 year old, we're able to see what he's working on throughout the day as the activity entry allows for customization and descriptions. We also really enjoy getting pictures of our kids throughout the day, and the messaging system is a wonderful way to talk directly to their teachers if something comes up. Cons It's difficult to go back to previous days for information. When the school uploads a document or news about illnesses at school, we only see it if we happen to look that day. It would also be nice to have a place where image uploads are kept so we can look through them like a gallery. Review Source Owner provider Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The best product out there for daily communication with your customers!! For all types of childcare services and programs!" December 12, 2024 5.0 Great!! I feel like I started with the company as a baby and now it’s all grown up!! I love it!! My clients as well! Pros I have used daily connect for years! One of the first groups of people to use the program. I have many opportunities to switch and I won’t. Its super easy to navigate and learn and all the new things they keep adding are awesome a d amazing! My clients love it as well! Cons I can’t honestly think of anything when something comes you they just right on it and fix it. Their customer service is amazing. I would like to start using their payment processing center, but won’t use it until they start getting the turnaround sooner.

Also the mobile version needs improvement. And parents want the option to download photos from the webpage, not just the app. Review Source Executive Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Designed for simplicity " December 23, 2024 5.0 As a preschool director, I can confidently say that Daily Connect has been an invaluable tool for daily communication with parents. Our families love the app, and it simplifies the process for teachers to share updates about each student effortlessly. Pros The app is incredibly user-friendly and easy to navigate. I also appreciate how it continues to improve with new features that are just as intuitive to use. Cons Nothing really comes to mind. Maybe when adding a new student if everything could be on one page and not in different tabs.

I love the pictures that are posted and the level of detail included in each days activities. It tells me not only what time things were done, but how much he ate of which foods. How he liked certain activities and how his potty learning is going. Pros I love how easy it is to track what is happening in my child’s day and communicate with his teachers Cons The messages feature is a little confusing and attempts to send my messages as emails Switched from The app was terrible and would not connect to the schools system Review Source Child care provider owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great tool for providers and parents at a reasonable cost" December 11, 2024 5.0 Great tool to streamline many things while freeing up more of my time to be oresent with children.

Review Source Toddler teacher Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Daily connect" December 12, 2024 4.0 It’s a very user friendly app. It allows for easy communication between teachers and parents. Pros I like that you can edit the time, in case you can’t enter in real time. I also like that it saves activities for future use. I like that you can choose multiple children on an entry. Cons I don’t like that it doesn’t have where you can choose the learning standards for documentation. Switched from [Lillio](https://www.capterra.com/p/134048/HiMama-Preschool-Child-Care-App/) I used daily connect before and I switched centers. I prefer daily connect over lillio Review Source Teacher Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Daily Connect is the best teacher/daycare communication platform " November 19, 2024 5.0 Excellent. When teachers/caregivers utilize it the way it should be, it’s the best communication and connection platform for parents. Pros The ease of communication between our teachers/caregivers and us as parents. We can send messages back and forth, not just teachers to us. Cons Nothing major comes to mind. Maybe the ability to have certain notifications come through as texts rather than push notifications? Switched from [Procare Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/23486/Procare-Child-Care-Management/) Daily Connect was the updated platform of our new childcare provider Review Source Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "I love Daily Connect " December 11, 2024 5.0 I have been using Daily Connect now for 4 years. I have loved my experience. There has been great updates to the app and it seems like they are always trying to make it better. I love how we can now like or comment on any of the activities and or messages. Great feature. Pros I love how user friendly this app is. I have used it as a teacher, parent and a director and it has worked great! Cons Right now we are struggling with not all of the children showing up on the director page when we add a new child. We have to go back into the child unclick director hit save and then go back in and add the director again. Just a few extra steps. Review Source Parent teacher Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great daycare app!" December 13, 2024 5.0 I like it, it’s easy to access, and I feel great about my child’s daycare communication from it! Pros The ability to see what my child is up to, see pictures, access daycare handbook easily and more! The ability to comment on pictures and messages is nice too! Cons I don’t currently have any cons about it, maybe if it could be organized by day rather than a long continuous feed? Review Source QA Specialist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Review From a Working Mom" December 16, 2024 5.0 As a working mom, I struggle knowing I can’t stay home with him and have to send him to Daycare. However, being able to see how many diaper changes he’s had, food and snacks, water:milk intake, and different crafts they are doing throughout the day puts my mind at ease. I am very thankful my Daycare Provider uses this app. Pros I am able to track what my son does throughout the day. Cons Every once in a while the notifications button in the app will switch to off and I won’t receive the notifications. However usually as soon as I turn it back on, there’s no issue.

" December 16, 2024 5.0 Overall, the experience is easy to use, fluid, and personal allowing me to keep up to date with my child's day while I'm away.
