Road to the Future: Mobile Apps for Child Care Management
Roads are wonderful metaphors. They can represent links between time and place, ways to get from here to there and anticipation of what’s coming around the bend. So what might that road look like between technology and your child care business?
Well, there’s a good chance you have some kind of mobile device, perhaps more than one. You may own a smartphone, iPad, or similar tablet or Android device. If so, you’re familiar with the dazzling array of “apps” available to do anything from teaching kids the alphabet to checking your bank balance and everything in between. So, it’s probably no surprise we frequently hear the question: “Is Procare working on a mobile app for child care management?”
With that in mind, I recently had the opportunity to speak with our development team about the future of mobile apps and what that might look like when using Procare Software® together with Procare Data Hosting. So here’s a sneak peak, a road map, if you will, of what we’re working on. It’s all very preliminary right now and there is no fixed timeline, but it’s still exciting to think of the possibilities and perhaps feel rather like a Procare insider on this little day trip.
[Editor's note: Procare Web Apps were officially released in September 2012. See: Web Apps for Procare Data Hosting] Continue reading
