TLE® Parent

I like the app and as an employee and parent I feel some things should be fixed. I wish that teachers can comment on pictures they post so parents know exactly what is happening. “Sally is using her fine motor skills to color the horse blue” “bob created a tower using the wood blocks by himself” I feel that parents will have a better understanding of what is going on throughout the day and not just get another picture of “Sally” painting AGAIN. Also there is no option to let parents know they are low on diapering items, what to bring for learning bag, supplies they may need or special item to bring in for an event/craft. Parents do not always pick up children and the message gets lost in between caretaker and parents etc.

The app is very basic. Add more messaging features and interactive messaging (check out Brightwheel app for some ideas). Parents should be able to communicate directly with teacher or facility director thru the app. Pictures need to have a comment feature. Can’t upload profile pictures of parents or kids. This is important so staff who uses the app recognizes the parents. You should grow the app the same way your franchise is growing

I’ve loved this app, since my TLE center began using it this last summer. I love seeing the pictures of my child and following his day. There is 1 major flaw, though. It is very easy to miss the request for needing supplies like diapers, wipes, or clothes. It looks just like everything else in the newsfeed. I think it would be much better if the app developers made the supplies request a pop up when you access the app so you have to read it and clear it before you move on to the newsfeed. Another option. Would be to make the background color of supply requests different from everything else.

1. This app needs more features like being able to message the teacher and comments should be under the pictures to give more of an idea of what the child is actually doing. 2. The app is always down (currently down) and for as much as I am paying TLE I should be getting updates all day on my son and what he is doing. 3. There should be a way we can access the cameras in the facility through the app. There are other daycares that allow access to the cameras throughout the day so why can’t TLE? Pictures are nice but I would like to see what he is doing and acting during the day.

My son has been in daycare now for almost 2 months, and although I’m enjoying the pictures that are sent to me, I definitely think a ‘Messages’ feature should be added so parents can communicate directly with the teachers. For example, my son’s teacher was able to select an option in the app that says ‘Supplies Needed,’ but that’s it. Exactly what supplies does my son need? Maybe add a list of common items or something!
