We don’t generally associate preschools with frontier technological innovation. However, this perception of preschools has been changing for some time now. Daycare centers and preschools have been adopting apps and software to enable better and more efficient tracking of students’ activities and development. These software are generally also accessible by the students’ parents who can keep tabs on their children while they are in school and also understand what the child is learning.
Preschool software have a number of advantages for all the people involved in running the school. The features of preschool software make them a must-have in this day and age; some of them are listed below.
Attendance Tracking: Attendance often becomes a major headache for students’ parents as well as teachers. Furthermore, valuable educational time is lost in the task of logging students’ attendance manually. Preschool software enable schools to automatically log the children’s attendance when they enter class, through the use of RFID, biometrics and the like. Attendance tracking can also be used by the school administration to maintain a record of teachers’ regularity in class.
Communication: A major complaint many parents often have with the preschool of their child is a lack of communication. Teachers seldom meet parents outside of open houses and official meetings, and parents can lose track of how their kid is doing at school. Preschool software and apps establish a direct link between teachers and students’ parents, in order that communication may be continuous and parents may remain constantly updated.
Notifications: A very useful feature of preschool software is its ability to notify students’ parents as well as teachers of important events. Teachers are generally given access to post notifications through the software or app, and in case of any important notification such as a special activity, assignment or open day, can send updates directly to the parents of every child of the class. The school administration can also send fee payment alerts and updates on the latest activities happening at the preschool.
Lesson Plans: Parents often show exceptional interest in what their child is learning during the early stages. Preschool software allow parents to access the lesson plans uploaded by the teachers in order to gain a better knowledge of the subjects and topics being taught at school. Going through lesson plans also allows parents to be better prepared to teach their kid at home, in order that better performance may be achieved at school.
Assessment: While assignments and examinations are not prevalent in preschools, teachers are certainly required to provide assessments of the performance of each child in their class. Preschool software will generally have a common format for the assessment of each student, and these assessments may be directly relayed to the parents of each student.
Preschool software are only growing in prevalence, and it is not long before every preschool has at least some technological contribution in education. Register for yours now to be a part of the bandwagon!
