HiMama Parent

Get photos and updates from your child’s preschool with the #1 Rated Child Care App! View and download photos, videos, messages and daily reports in your own private app and email.

This app is for parents or family members, and requires your center to be using the HiMama program.

HiMama allows you to view and share your child’s development: from fun pictures and stories to developmental milestones. Every day, parents receive a daycare daily sheet with naps, meals, activities, and reminders so you can stay connected to your child while they are in care. You can even invite additional family and friends to access the Parent Portal to keep everyone in the loop!
