Overview Flyer
• Tools to Save Time & Money. The MyKidzDay app – a free downloadable app that enables home-based providers to track daily operations and communicate to their families through a professional platform (e.g., it’s an easy to use business tool for a quick child health check prior to child entry, tracking child attendance and meals, communicating with parents, and more!) Ask us how to access the MyKidzDay app!

• Basic Computer Support. Not comfortable with technology generally? No worries! Our staff will meet you where you are at so that you have individualized support based on your own needs! From providing basic computer support (e.g., how to use a laptop for your business, how to use Microsoft Word and/or Excel, how to create and use email, how to set up a web site or business Facebook page, or anything else designed to make home-based providers comfortable) to advanced skills related to using technology in your business.
