HiMama Software

Ease of communication with families is by far the most benefit we get from this program. It is also nice to have our lesson plans, messages, menu's and calendars all in one place. Not to mention the paper we save.

Pros

Sending parents instant messages and pictures and reminders is unbelievably easy now. We try to send parents a picture of their child enjoying there day every week. We can also remind them to bring diapers or other necessities for their child any time.

Cons

It could use a few more administrative features. I find myself running an entire report to get one line out of it.

Pros

It's great to get updates and pictures throughout and at the end of the day. great tool for parents to use to communicate with teachers

Pros

The ease of use! Our parents cannot stop raving about it. The teachers love it and so does our licensing officers

Pros

All of the informational options and photos are great. I love being a mommy and being able to recieve photos of my little one.

Pros

It is so convenient and has many options to display items about the children's day. i like that parents can log on

Cons

when inputting lunches and snacks it would be convenient for it to have a time option of when the food was given like it does for bottles

It's great to get updates and pictures throughout and at the end of the day. It's also handy to see what the "nothing" your preschooler says he did all day, actually is! And the updates I had about my baby's eatings habits actually helped my doctor give us a plan of action when he wasn't doing so well. So happy our childcare provider uses it. Two thumbs up!

One big thing I think this app is missing is the date of each report...and the ability to see the past week or so...seems it's lost as soon as you move to the next day...friendlier navigatation and menus would be worth considering. I do love getting updates and seeing pictures throuough the day!

Pros

Getting daily updates

Cons

Can't review history...clunckly navigation

It's absolutely wonderful! Seriously - it makes my day. I love the updates about my daughter throughout the day (the pictures and videos are the best) and it's an easy way to communicate with her teachers. My family also adores it because they get to see the baby, too - they're part of her "Crew"! I love HiMama!!!

We tried many other reporting systems for our school to severyone and communicate with our parents but Hi Mama has been hands down our favorite and our parents love it! As a director/owner of my childcare center my personal.favorite feature is that our super odors can review each entry for each student on reports overview and see if there are excited tries missing before the report get sent out to parents. We love using the observations tools to attach skills observed to pics and videos of students to help parents know more about their child's day and what they are learning. We also use the notes section for reminders and to list a few of our Learning skills from the Daily lesson plan to keep parents informed about what lessons were taught. We love Hi Mama and we would highly recommend this to you!

Pros

Reports overview feature to see all students activities in one classroom to see any missing entries.

Advice to Others

It's the best and the easiest to use.

I am very happy with all the pictures that are sent to me each day. It allows me to see what my grandchild is doing and also shows that she is being engaged in an intellectual manner during the day.

I LOVE HiMama. It keeps me informed about my child's day, the activities she is doing and what she is learning. I love being at work and hearing my phone ding and then taking a quick second to check for the photo her educators have sent. It provides me with reassurance and puts a smile on my face. I am so glad that my child's centre decided to use Hi Mama!

I love how I can connect with my son's daycare provider and I can look at pictures and videos and also see what my son has been doing all day.

It is a great service and allows you to feel like your in contact with your child even when you are at work. I really enjoy the pictures and the ability to speak directly with my childs teachers.

Super convenient and a really great app! I love receiving notifications of pics and report everyday. It's a great app and all day care centers should have this!!! I love that i can communicate with the teachers as well thru this app.

The app is good overall. It would be great if you could allow for the downloading of pictures on iPhone :) thanks!

Pros

Up to date

Cons

Can't download the pictures and videos on iPhone

I love being able to see my child during the day. The updates are great to have for piece mind and to conversations with your child at dinner

I really enjoy that we can follow our kids activities throughout the day. The only thing that I found a little bit annoying is we need to click twice to see the real seize of the photo. It would be awesome if everything we go on the headlights (I have two kids) that we could see the photo in its totality. Quite often I see the half on my kids face and I need to click twice to see the his face. this problem is with the app on my IPhone. I don't know if the problem happens on Internet.

I love the hi mama daycare app as it allows parents to contact and get updates through out the day on how your child is doing or what they are learning and doing. Gives parents peace of mind and is a great service.

I stay in Scotland and my granddaughter in Canada. This app has allowed me to see what she gets up to, and to watch her grow. Makes me feel part of her day. Would have missed loads of her growing up if it was not for the app. Loved every minute of it.

HiMama application is very useful and user-friendly. Our staff had minimal issues while using the application.
