About this app

Learning Genie for Childcare is a daily report & portfolio app for preschool teachers, child care centers, family care providers, and nannies.

Key features of the Learning Genie Childcare app:

1. Allows users to share daily routines, photos, reminders, notes and more with parents in real time on the Learning Genie Parent App. Also provides an automatic e-mail daily report summary.

2. Helps encourage parents to reinforce learning at home through sharing songs, videos, books. Parents can play full-length songs and videos, and even read entire e-books right on their Parent App.

3. Uses preset portfolio tags to help preschool teachers and childcare providers track and organize children’s developmental observations and assessment evidence. There is a set of built-in Early Learning Standards can be used. You can always contact [e-mail] to customize and upload your custom set of tags. The portfolio tool also provides a quick summary of what has been observed and unobserved in a specific period of duration to help teachers stay on track.

4. Features an offline mode, which allows full, uninterrupted use of the app in areas with weak Wi-Fi. This is especially useful during outdoor play or field trips.

5. Provides desktop/laptop access through the Learning Genie web portal so school admins and teachers can manage classrooms with ease and download portfolio reports in PDF form.

The Learning Genie Program provides free sign up and 3-month trial, and is always free for family caregivers and nannies.

Ratings and reviews

I usually love this app, but have noticed it has a lot of bugs lately like not letting me select students or issues scrolling. Since the messaging feature was removed on 12/24 (and reinstated 12/30), the messages tab has not returned to my device. So right now it's good for sending quick reminders and posting activity but not much else. I hope it gets repaired soon.

Love the app, great customer service. Just wish it let you check children in/out by clicking on picture. Like attendance, that would be perfect. Also, when I add an activity it would be nice to have options like the subject, ex fine motor, gross motor, science, art etc.

A really useful app, but some downsides are I have to refresh the page every time I want to put in a new picture in of a different student so it won't delete the previous one. Another on is I have many book that the app does not have, and there use to be a feature that let you put books in by just title and author.
