Introduction
As a growing childcare management platform, Kigana is committed to continuously improving and innovating its services to streamline operations for childcare centers and enhance the experience for parents. We are excited to announce a range of new features being introduced in June 2023 that will revolutionize how you manage your childcare center. From advanced time tracking capabilities to improved search options and enhanced privacy resources, these updates are designed to empower both employees and parents alike.
1. Time Tracking Feature for Employees
One of the key additions to Kigana is the Time Tracking feature for employees. We understand that tracking staff hours accurately is crucial for payroll management and ensuring the efficient operation of your childcare center. With the new Time Tracking feature, employees can easily log their work hours directly through the Kigana platform. This feature will save time and effort, eliminating the need for manual timesheets and minimizing the possibility of errors.
To help you get started with this new feature, we have created a comprehensive guide titled "Setup Time Tracking" . This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up and utilize the Time Tracking feature effectively.
2. Blog Post Search for Parents
Recognizing the importance of communication between childcare centers and parents, we have extended the Blog Post search functionality to parents as well. Previously only available to childcare employees, this feature allows parents to search and access relevant blog posts directly from their Kigana account. Parents can now easily find informative blog posts, tips, and updates on various childcare-related topics, ensuring they stay informed and engaged with their child's development and center's activities.
3. New Privacy Resources
Kigana takes privacy and data security seriously. In our commitment to protecting your sensitive information, we have introduced new privacy resources to further enhance the security of your childcare center's data. We now provide a document that you can use to collect explicit consent before storing personal data of parents and children. Additionally, we have introduced more checks to remind childcare center administrators about privacy considerations when storing personal data. Rest assured that your center's data is in safe hands as we continue to prioritize your privacy.
4. Updates to Android and iOS Apps
To provide an optimized user experience across different platforms, we have made significant updates to our Android and iOS apps. These updates include performance enhancements, bug fixes, and an improved user interface. With the latest versions of the Kigana mobile apps, parents and educators can conveniently access your childcare center on the go.
Upcoming Updates
Our dedication to constant improvement means that we are already working on exciting new updates for the coming months. In future releases, we plan to expand the Time Tracking feature to include helpful reminders and generate detailed reports. These additions will further streamline your center's operations and provide valuable insights into employee productivity.
Conclusion
The new features introduced in June 2023 demonstrate Kigana's commitment to empowering childcare centers and parents with the best tools and resources. The Time Tracking feature for employees, enhanced Blog Post search for parents, improved privacy resources, and updates to the Android and iOS apps will collectively contribute to a more efficient and engaging childcare management experience.
Stay tuned for future updates as we continue to innovate and refine Kigana's features to meet the evolving needs of childcare centers.
