Why schools love it
Calmer days for teachers. Peace of mind for parents.
Daily diary card
One tap to log meals, naps, nappy changes, mood and activities. Parents see their child's day as it happens.
Safe QR pick-up
Every authorised person gets a QR card with their photo. Teachers scan it before a child is released, and every release is logged.
Lifelong photo album
Teachers share photos straight to each child's private album, neatly arranged by date and kept safely in the cloud.
Private inbox
Messages stay inside School Care – fast, free and secure. Teachers can set do-not-disturb hours.
Medical alerts & medication
Allergy badges on every class list, a medication log and incident reports that parents acknowledge.
News & emergency alerts
Send news to the whole school or one class, and see who has read it. Emergency alerts reach every phone instantly.
The photo album
Every nursery memory, safe forever – not lost in a WhatsApp group
Teachers snap your child painting, playing and growing, and the photos go straight into your child’s own private album, neatly arranged by date. Add your own photos too, and invite the grandparents to enjoy them – free.
- 500 photos for just R49 per month, per child
- Need more? Add another 500 for R49
- The album belongs to your family – it moves with your child to a new school
- Both parents and grandparents see the same album

Safety first
Only the right people collect your child
Parents add everyone who may collect their child – with a photo, ID number and vehicle registration. Each person gets a QR pick-up card. Teachers scan it, see the photo, and only then release the child. Every pick-up is recorded.
- Once-off pick-up codes for unexpected days
- Allergies and medical alerts on every class list
- Incident reports that parents sign off
Pick-up cardGive your school its own website and app this term
