It has dedicated sections for daily photos, nap time, and meal updates. From what I’ve heard, it’s also user-friendly for educators. Pros It is a user friendly app designed with keeping educators and parents in mind. Real-time updates, photos, and messaging help parents stay connected with their child’s day. Cons Performance Issues: Occasionally, when I tap on a notification, the app fails to load properly. Instead of opening normally, it displays a blank white screen. Review Source BB Bonnie B. Lead Systems Analyst Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple Child Activity Logging, Hindered by UI and Lack of Integration" February 10, 2025 4.0 Lillio was our first foray into a software solution for our Children's Academy. It was a good first experience, but as we began to grow, we wanted a tool that was a bit more buttoned up as we sought certification for the Academy. Pros Lillio made it easy for our staff to log activities for each child, helping our moms know what their children were doing and how they were growing each day. Cons Lillio's UI was ok, but not the best. It was certainly better than some of the other tools we looked at, but we wanted the most intuitive interface for our staff who in this role are a bit technically novice and for our moms, many of whom grapple with technology as well. We also navigated issues with keeping our contacts up to date. We live primarily in Salesforce and got to a point where we needed to do weekly imports and updates and it was not particularly easy with HiMama.

Cons It's pricey and the invoicing system seems a bit dated, like it's the predecessor hiMama Review Source TS Thomas S. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not a lot of other options, and pretty decent" October 23, 2024 4.0 I have had my children in daycare for a number of years, and our site started using Lillio about two years ago. It makes it easy to communicate and receive notifications from our dayhome, and also gives me peace of mind that my children are being taken care of. Pros I like that I quickly receive information about my child at daycare, and have a simple way to communicate with the caregiver. Cons The app is quite slow to load, especially when viewing video files that have been posted. Having multiple children at a location is also more difficult to manage than it needs to be. Review Source SP Sathiya P. Technical Lead engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love - be connected with the child through out the day with Lillio" November 26, 2024 4.0 The thought of always connected with the child even in the busy work schedule is a stress buster and Lillio helps with it and it is super useful Pros The photo updates and learning lessons sharing within the app is useful and better for tracking. The messaging section to interact with the teacher for status and interactions is a cool thing. The application is easy to use and self explanatory and very intuitive. Cons The message notifications sync is delayed at times and will receive the messages off late. There is no interaction window to communicate with other parents and by default we don't have control on whom can receive message(director will be copied by default) Review Source CM Carla M. IT Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lillio Has Exceptional Capabilities that Makes It Powerful" December 17, 2024 5.0 Lillio gives us the best experiences.

Pros Lillio offers a sleek, intuitive interface and insightful analytics, making goal tracking clear and motivating. Cons Limited integrations with other productivity tools can make it harder to streamline workflow. Review Source LS Liliia S. Programmatic Analyst. Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great and convenient app!" October 10, 2024 5.0 Overall the app is great, I haven't had any difficulties or frustrations with it! Pros I like that it's very user friendly and intuitive. Cons When you scroll down on the feed it would be great to list the names (dates) of the reports versus the actual reports. Like sharing a list of names and when you click on it it expands to details. This way it would be easier to find a report you're looking for quickly and I believe it's a better user experience.

Assistant Professor Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "daycare check-ons" September 6, 2024 4.0 Pros It's great for quick check on my kids in daycare and messaging all teachers and the supervisor. Also, it has profile for each kid that I can switch between them. Cons for some reason it stopped giving me notifications and I have to refresh the app every time to see if there is any update on food, etc. Also, the food options are just none, some, most and all, which makes it hard to track how much exactly they ate.

Researcher Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Parenting made easier with Himama" February 2, 2022 4.0 Himama has been of great addition to my daily management aspects as I'm able to do my business as i concurrently monitor my children at school without having to worry. Any issues raised by the caregivers can reach me in a short span of time and thus solutions are found instantly. Pros The app is quite helpful to both parents and school caregivers as we are able to constantly monitor our children's milestones. With the app as a parent i'm notified of any absurd this with my toddler in a timely manner. The app has also made activity scheduling in the daycare quite easy and manageable. The real time photo sharing features keeps me updated on my child's progress the entire day at school thus cutting down on anxiety. Cons The messaging feature is a bit unreliable could be I'm the only one experiencing this since I do not get notification as to whether the care giver has received my message. Probably they may also be overwhelmed by numerous messages from parents. If this feature an be made more user friendly then the app will be worth my investments. Review Source ET Eathan T.

February 3, 2023 4.0 My overall experience with hi Mama as I'm glad it's there that's why Mama away from home Pros I would have to say hands down the ability to see more than one child at a time in different areas. It gives me great Peace of mind knowing that I can check in on my children and know that they're okay through the day Cons At the same time it is also one of my biggest cons because it does get a little glitchy and sometimes you can't see where your child is you can't check in and there are areas where they're not visible Review Source AS Ayla S. Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hi Mama For The Best Mammas " September 22, 2023 5.0 I love Hi Mama for its multi functional utility, super simple to use, easy to handle,monitored activities, view and print attendance history and in time messages and report to parents make it the best choice of every parent. Remarkably enhance the communication between parents and teachers, which make both of them actively involved and over whelm for child well being. Pros For me the ease of application & quick access are the most attractive features in Hi Mama. Without having to spend a lot of time up dating each child , we can easily submit or receive their information by clicking a button. The daily reports are excellent in quality and presentation. This wonderful app provide the ease of access and real time up dates of their kids with pictures and lesson through out the day. Parent Portal stood out standing for its exceptional conduct by offering the ease and efficiency together for its consumers. Cons Hi Mama charges a flat $50 per month per class room and the cost increases with the number of class room, if can offer some flex rates or promotion offers, for the price, i think it will be good for the boost of Hi Mama business and clients.

Pros Lot of paper works is reduced and this is something I love about this app. Clear and understable user interface loaded with apt features makes this app super easy to use. Cons The pricing can be a bit lower considering competition in this arena. The pricing can be based on geographical locations or individual countries currencies. Review Source LV Lina V.

Medical Office Administrator Medical Devices Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "HiMama review" August 4, 2021 5.0 Overall I find it easy to use and helpful. I love knowing updates on my child all day. Pros The updates are most important to me as a parent. I am able to know exactly what my child is doing all day long. I know he is safe and happy and that he is having fun and eating healthy foods. Cons Honestly I have had no issues as a parent with this app. Switched from [Procare Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/23486/Procare-Child-Care-Management/) Privacy issues.

I also like that I can send and receive messages through the app. It makes communicating with the teachers very easy. Cons I don’t like that the entries are not consistent.

Nail technician Cosmetics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Daycare and HiMama " May 8, 2023 5.0 So far it has been a great experience I feel like I get to partake in the daily activities Pros It is easy to use and makes me feel like I’m part of my child’s care daily Cons I do not dislike anything while I am using this app Review Source MF MELANIE F. owner/director/teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's the best child care management platform I found" December 13, 2019 4.0 I tried a few other programs prior to Himama. I was less impressed with the services and the tech support with those. Himama seems to be the only program with a balance of family/teacher communication and administration aspects without buying each segment separately. As a teacher AND administrator I see both sides of that and as a small private Early Childhood center I need an affordable system. And now with the Ounce package added on, we can save time, paper and trouble proving that we track individual development as well. But the best thing about Himama are the customer support and tech teams. Pros Actually the best thing about Himama is the responsiveness of the tech team behind the platform. I have submitted many ideas to improve the service, to assist us in billing, tracking regulated events and ease of recording and reporting information. Every time I received a quick and personal response to clarify my needs. Most of those ideas have been added over the last year to the service even though they all involved remodeling the categories in which they fit. The consistent movement to meet subscriber's needs is impressive to me. Cons There are still improvements to ease the need to record and report things like fire drills, but I believe they are working on it. I would also like to be able to add my own developmental categories. Reason for choosing Lillio Trial and error. If I had not liked it, I would have dropped it. I needed BOTH the family connection and the administrative tools. Most affordable apps only offer both at high cost. Review Source JH June H. Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### " Communication Breakthrough! " August 27, 2019 5.0 Our survey data from families has always focused on the lack of communication about centre happenings...not any more....since we have HiMama communication is no longer an issue. HiMama is organized, centered around the Continuum of Development which makes child observations and documentation easy - the pie graphs add a visual dimension to the app which allows staff at a glance to see which domains need addressing by staff. As a manger the weekly report confirm that the communication is happening within the centre, families are receiving their observations and families are engaged and checking items sent. Pros The software allows me to see at any given time child enrollment numbers, child observation data and ongoing communication with child care families. Families are purchasing a child care service on behalf of their children therefore the parents do not experience the full service directly...their children do. HiMama allows me to have connect/communicate with parents in real time keeping them up to date on centre happenings and sharing resources. This has always been the hardest part of the child care and HiMama bridges that communication gap on a daily basis. Cons A lot of American content......need more Canadian content. Reason for choosing Lillio HiMama had the Continuum of Development build in which made things easy and efficient for staff compiling/sharing reports with families and the app fulfilled our need to solidify great communication with our families.
