App-tastic

Today, I wanted to talk about an app that I think is really interesting.  I found out about it at the SECA conference this year.  It is called Tykester .  It is an app that allows childcare providers to update parents on how their child's day is going.  The teacher can input real-time tracking for meals, naps, potty, mood changes, daily events, photos, and notes.  Any entry can be applied to multiple children.  And the teacher/director or parent can call or text without leaving the app.  Best of all, it is completely free.  I am not currently a childcare director, but this is something I would definitely look into.
