During my interview with the director told me that there is an Ipad in each of the classroom. The teacher communicates with the parents on an app called precioustatus. The parents can send message to the teacher throughout the day and the teacher send them updates. The center uses a computer for clockin/out, payroll is direct deposit, the center releases a monthly newsletter for the parents and a monthly calendar for the staff. The center also has a different training that the staff can complete online. Program strengths for this item: ● ipad in the classroom ● Precioustatus communication with the parents ● Training online ● Newsletters Program needs for this item: ● None, because the center use technology in every classroom; I don’t see any needs at this time.

The center has their teachers use technology on a daily basis when they use the app precioustatus, they can take a picture and send them to the parents.
