Communication with Parents – Eccesoft

Here in KinderCrescent, we know the value of communication with parents and how important it is for a parent to be informed about their child’s care, education and progress. We work hard to make sure that we continue to foster two-way communication between parents and staff.

Eccesoft is an Early Years management system that we have been using in the nursery for some time. We use their Parent Portal which allows us to share classroom news with parents and guardians along with photos of some of the daily activities in your child’s classroom.

With Eccesoft your child’s teacher will send you a short summary each day of your child’s learning and all the fun activities that your child has been doing throughout their day here with us in KinderCrescent. We will also include some photos of the fun being had!
