Our mobile app is designed to help parents stay on top of their child’s care needs, all from their phone. With a user-friendly interface and a variety of features, the app is the ultimate tool for owners to communicate with parents and families. Here are just a few ways the Jackrabbit Care platform and our mobile app can help streamline parent communication.
Two-Way Communication
The Jackrabbit Care mobile app allows for two-way communication between parents and child care educators. This means that parents can easily message your child’s care center throughout the day, getting real-time updates on their activities and well-being. Likewise, child care center staff can use the app to broadcast updates, such as pictures or videos, and even open up a separate chat channel between families, so you can stay connected even when you’re not there in person.
Bill Pay & Automatic Payments
Communicating to parents on payments for your childcare center can sometimes be a hassle, but Jackrabbit Care makes it a breeze. Through the app, childcare owners can empower parents to effortlessly set up and manage their billing information, providing them with a user-friendly and streamlined experience.
With Jackrabbit Care, childcare centers can automate tuition billing, create personalized billing profiles, and generate comprehensive financial reports. This ensures that their parents never miss payment deadlines, eliminating worries about late fees or missed payments. Improving this billing process not only eases the burden of financial transactions but also strengthens communication between childcare providers and parents, fostering a more transparent and efficient relationship.
