How do you communicate with parents?

We use the Famly app for constant visibility of your child's day, photos, updates, and direct communication with the setting.

We plan welcome messages, visits, and settling-in sessions to support your child's transition. We advise a minimum of two sessions for continuity, helping children feel safe and settled. See our Settling In page for details.
