Several child care centers are capitalizing on advancements in technology to maintain open communication with parents. It's now commonplace for these institutions to utilize apps that provide live-streamed videos of daily happenings and share photos of the children. This allows parents to stay in-the-know about their children's day-to-day experiences at the facility through virtual access to images and videos. An example of this trend can be seen in Canada, where Trust Child Care Centers collaborated with Parent Care Network to offer internet video feeds to parents, giving them the ability to observe their child's interactions at the center. Entities such as Bloomz, Eleyo, OnCare, myKidzDay, and KidCheck are leading this charge, offering specialized child care software, apps, and other tech-based solutions for these service providers.
