Procare Parent Engagement
At Altoona 8th Street Child Care we improve and nurture communications with families and instill trust with parents by involving them in their children’s activities.  With Procare, we are able to share milestones in real time to engage families in their children’s development and help reinforce what is taught in the classroom by providing insights into their children’s curriculum and learning objectives.
Activities and photos can be shared easily and viewable to parents and caregivers via our child care mobile app.
Student-Family-Teacher Communication
Procare tracks in-class activities and development milestones that can then be communicated with parents. Procare supports a wide variety of learning methodologies and provides the ability to access and report on developmental milestones.
Communicate and Engage With Families

We us Procare to keep families aware of calendars and upcoming events through newsletters, text messages, and emails.
