Illumine - easy and intuitive

I use illumine at my children's school to check their daily activities and meal reports . It is quite fast and intuitive . It lets me checkin or checkout my child with the help of simple QR code scan They use it for car pool on an iPad and it helps me track the car movement as well. The school moved from a pen and paper set up which was much slower due to flipping through the clipboard to find your kids and signing for each of them. It lets me add medical and food notes as well. Such a relief when teacher marks such notes completed with a picture. Plus, if it was raining the papers were a mess. The school has the iPads at the reception that still allows for signature with the touch screen.

PROS

Illumine helps make the connection between home and the preschool setting stronger. It allows teachers and parents to communicate important information to each other. It allows for photos to be shared with the families, so that they can see the learning taking place in the classroom. It allows me to keep track of the development that my child is going through, in a very structured, easy to understand format. I like this software a lot

CONS

I really do not have any cons for Illumine. My experience has been very positive and I like the product and their user interface . I am being 100% honest when i say that I have never had to contact customer support so I can not speak to that, but I do know that the implementation of the solution was pretty simple .

All-inclusive Child Care Center Management Software

So far I love everything about Illumine! They are quick to sort out any issues if we rarely have them. Time and again they surprise us with new features.

PROS

There are more things than I can list about why I like Illumine as a parent. I love being able to check in on my kid any time during the day with there Live streaming feature. My kid's school uploads pictures in afternoon and I eagerly wait for it during my lunch time. It helps them feel a part of my kid's day at daycare . Apart from parent communication, I like how bills are always available in my email and also sending food and medicine notes to the class teachers.! Recently they created a video of my kid's journey in the school and all the family members were absolutely delighted with the video.

CONS

The cons that have come up are very few and mostly relate to the internet services which automatically gets sorted.

Very useful especially during the pandemic!

If you're looking for a child care management platform for your school, I would absolutely recommend Illumine because it's very user-friendly, very straightforward, all you'll need for your school is all in one place. As a parent, I wouldn't have to switch from one software to another and read endless emails from teachers just for school updates. All the information I need about my child's performance is accessible at my disposal, without checking different things from different platforms.

PROS

My kid's school used this, and the whole experience to communicate with her teachers and receiving daily reports about my child would not have been much more straightforward. During the pandemic, extra updates such as online learning and activity sharing with learners are handy, and she felt connected to her teachers even though she is away from school. They have various tools, such as notifications, assessments, fee collection, Lead CRM, etc., all in one place. Still, I hope her school would use all the functionalities as I know it would be so much more helpful for teachers and students.

CONS

As of now, the experience is pretty pleasant, and if there are any problems, the team will be quick to resolve it for us.

Illumine is great and long way to go!

Illumine replaced the handwritten diary notes from my child’s school. I was assured by the school that I will get continuous updates. I was not disappointed. I am able to check the food menu every day and accordingly decide whether to send the meal or not. Previously I had to followup with the teachers about the medicine notes for my child. Now I simply have to log on and log a medicine note.

PROS

I simply love their medicine and concern section in the app. It saves lot of effort on both on my side and the teacher side.

CONS

They can improve their push notifications. At times it comes with a delay. I have raised it to them and they have said they are working on it

Not well organized

I am looking for three important things of this app, none of them are fully met: a. class link (had issues accessing it when switching from one teacher to the other) b. class material (I expect it to be under virtual class section, but it is under assignment and I have to read very carefully to differentiate in-class activity of after-class activity; not user-friendly) c. calendar with class schedule(no such feature)

PROS

Virtual Class context showing the class of today

CONS

I expect to see a month calendar with class schedule in the Timeline section, but I actually have to check the it under Assignment section and open up a file to read the class schedule.

Illumine parent user

I started using the app since my child's school started posted updates on the same. It has been easy to learn though I feel the interface can be much better designed.

PROS

The updates are very easily visible. The media gets uploaded quite fast.

CONS

I can only upload either a photograph or a video, the option to upload both is not available. I feel tbe user interface and design can be improved and more options for text and font can be available.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the feedback. We are releasing a revamped User interface where you can upload files, video,s and images together. This will be available by end of november.

i would give 4 stars out of five. So that you guys can continue to improve the application and make sure it's best in class.

PROS

-- UI of the application is good, -- User-friendly and easy to navigate even though there are a lot of content/windows within the app.

CONS

There is still room for improvement. for Example - Font size can be increased a little bit. - It's not a con but at times certain pages look a bit cluttered. - If we can customize the dashboard or if there could be a better way for dashboard layout that would be good

Easy to join meetings as you don’t have to open zoom every time. Access to plans and calendar are are a good feature.

CONS

There is always a delay. The home page shows the meeting from previous day always for few seconds before you can actually see that day meeting link. Also the lesson plans tab don’t work. U click on it and it shows lessons from past week and needs refreshing many times before you see the current.

Good enough for a beginner

I use the software for my son to go to school. He is able to log in and be productive as a preschooler who has never been to a regular school. So that should tell you what Progress this software has assisted us with.

PROS

I honestly just use the software for my son to go to school. I find that it's pretty easy to use and simple to navigate.

CONS

Some times I have connection issues, but that's with anything. Other than that I don't really know much else about it to say anything bad.
