This weeks change log features some of the improvements we are constantly adding to our app and website to make every interaction fast and easy. We are constantly adding small adjustments and upgrades throughout our childcare management software so that you can make sure every interaction feels smooth, your parents are engaged, and your staff can stay off their devices. Playground's aim is to make it so you never have to use technology a moment longer than you need to get your job done.

With that in mind, we also launched SMS text based alerts. If you have an emergency, we want to make sure we can get the word out for you as quickly and effectively as possible. We offer text messaging, app alerts, and emails to make sure your notifications are heard by families regardless of how they choose to communicate and stay in the know.
