### "Needed information "

January 23, 2020

5.0

Pros

I love this program it gives me everything I need to know about my grandson day right up to what I can expect from him at the end of the day. It is an informative play by play of what is happening all day, right down to what he has eaten or slept. I love that it give us information of what he is short of at his daycare. It’s an amazing tool to settle parents, grandparents and just other guardians worries . Amazing!!!

Cons

I did not find a thing about this app that I could find wrong with or criticize. It suits all our needs

### "Cut the chaos of child care"

October 14, 2021

5.0

Absolutely beautiful experience my life is finally organized. I never thought with a toddler anything in my life could be organized.

Pros

I use this not only as a mother myself but as a child care provider. My job is based at home currently so I care for others children as a side position. I love this cuts the chaos out completely. I used to hate figuring out schedules and everything needed daily. I can just focus on meeting the parents and getting them home quickly.

Cons

It could use more user friendly design aspects.

### "Peace of mind"

January 15, 2020

5.0

I am really happy With this childcare app . My now 4 year old daughter was at other center for 1 year and there was lack of communication what she did during day as teachers keep changing shift . That’s no longer an issue . HiMama is organized and makes child observations and activities easy

Pros

I love the photos I get on a daily bases. It gives me peace of mind during the day and also allows me to talk to my 4 year old daughter about what she learned during the day when she comes home. For my 1 year old this app is also perfect as I can see what she ate or did during her day. It also gives me flexibility to talk her class teachers during day if needed.

Cons

I think the app is sometime slow usually downloading a video Also I wish there was easy way to save pictures videos or any other information like reports etc

### "Good insight into my child’s day"

February 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

I love that I can get pictures of my child during his day at daycare. The regular updates and news keep me informed.

Cons

Sometimes I wish I could pay the bill directly through the app, but I don’t think that’s an issue with the app but with the daycare.

### "Daycare app"

December 19, 2019

5.0

We started using this app when we came to a new daycare. It is very easy to use and it keeps us up to date with what is going on in our child’s daily classroom experience.

Pros

I like the ability to see photos, view schedules, and look at curriculum notes.

Cons

Sometimes I would have to sign in on my phone, it would forget my credentials.

### "A great App "

August 4, 2021

4.0

I have had a great overall experience with this app. I find it easy to access as well as the updates are great. I love how it makes me feel involved in what they are doing, I also love the the pictures and videos they post as well.

Pros

Very easy to use, I love the daily reports and love seeing pictures. Also being able to contact the staff individually with any problems or suggestions I may have.

Cons

I think the only thing that i would like to see is more details regarding certain areas that my kids might have difficulty with, such as eating, toileting, sleep, maybe strategies or routines they might use.

### "User Friendly"

September 4, 2019

5.0

We have been extremely satisfied with HiMama. I looked at a few other items out there and none compare to what they offer and the ease at which they deliver the end product.

Pros

Extremely easy to use from our assistants in the classroom to our parents downloading the apps to their phones. Our parents love this application. I love several things about it! Saving trees is a great one, but also the great ease of use. The parents get great detailed information daily about the children's daily activities. It is a great asset for our team and moves away from paper work. The other thing is that as an administrator I can see who is present and how things are going just by pulling up that class online. It is a great tool!!

Cons

Not really any negatives that I can think of. A great support network to work with as well! A great product and team!

Reason for choosing Lillio

We needed something to get away from all of the paper we were using and it was a daily issue of having enough forms, keeping up with all these forms, filing, etc. Now everything is electronically kept for us.

### "Great preface, rough interface "

August 28, 2019

3.0

It started out a little odd but once we got it up and running we were happy until we started seeing all the weird quirks. You can’t put in a student our parents address we put them in notes which was odd, the billing aspect is awful you can’t connect families, it started out a little odd but once we got it up and running we were happy until we started seeing all the weird quirks. You can’t put in a student our parents address we put them in notes which was odd, the billing aspect is awful you can’t connect families, no immunization record keeping. It’s fit for businesses that do not have to keep specific record keeping for tax purposes .

Pros

Looks great, easy for parents to use, checking in and out is easy. Easy to create tuition plans.

Cons

All the behind the scenes billing is awful. Nothing makes sense for bookkeeping purposes.

### "Great snapshot of child’s day"

February 27, 2022

4.0

Overall, it’s a good app for capturing the important aspects of child’s day

Pros

Love the pictures and videos, but also appreciate seeing what was eaten, and nap length.

Cons

Clicking on notifications does not bring me to appropriate section of app. For example, notification will say I have a new message, but clicking on the notification does not bring me to the message section of app

February 24, 2022

5.0

Very good

Pros

I love that all the information is in one place and you can see scheduling as well as notifications with pictures of day to day activities.

### "Love the app"

January 15, 2020

5.0

Elimination of staff having to remember what to update me with at the end of teh day. The most valuable information I get from the app is how long naptime was, and how much she ate. This information is so helpful at the end of the day to explain why my child is behaving the way she is.

Pros

I love that i can see in real time what my child is doing during the day. I love seeing the pictures that the staff takes and shares with us.

Cons

The fact that i have to log in from my work computer. this is my work computer's fault tho. so nothing i can think of.

### "It's a great app for parents!"

September 2, 2023

5.0

Pros

What I liked most about HiMama are its user-friendly interface, the ability to access essential information throughout the day, and the helpful reports it provides. Additionally, the feature to save memories for your child is a valuable aspect of the app.

Cons

One drawback of HiMama is that to download files in good quality, you may need to upgrade your plan.

Overall it is one of the best child monitoring and care app in the market. Provides videos, photos and other useful information for parents.

Pros

My partner loves this app. This helps her monitor the child and his activities. It records photos for later viewing and reports are also available on request.

Cons

Not much to criticize or any lags while viewing the video. We are very much satisfied and happy parents.

### "Teacher/Family Communication at your fingertips"

September 4, 2019

5.0

Our families love that we offer this app. They love that they can send a message from home without disrupting the child's day or pulling the teacher away from teaching. They love the updates and photo shares as well.

Pros

We love the ease of use with this product. It helps parents and teachers communicate back and forth with the convenience of their phone or classroom tablets. As an admin I can also communicate with parents individually or as a who center which is AMAZING. We love to share little updates like photos, diaper changes, nap times, or milestones via the app with our families.

Cons

Only able to send one photo at a time to families. We wish we could send 2-5 at a time.

Reason for choosing Lillio

I'm new, and this was in place when I joined in June so I do not know.

### "Thank You HiMama"

October 15, 2014

5.0

HiMama has been very well received at all three of my Little Sprouts Learning Centers. Parents are thrilled to see their children interacting in class and feel reassured to see their child settled into the program just minutes after leaving the classroom. This was especially appreciated by our new parents, as well as parents whose children were starting school for the first time. Prior to HiMama, families received a monthly newsletter with photos, information on our monthly theme, reminders, birthdays and important upcoming dates. Now with a click of a button, the classroom teacher can send this information to parents anytime. The ability to keep updates current has helped parents ensure they are not missing important news, are less likely to forget upcoming events, and also allows them extra time to plan and prepare. Parents find the program extremely handy as they can speak directly to the teacher through the HiMama message system. Often times moms and dads are on the run and not always able to chat during drop off and pick up, or throughout the day. HiMama keeps everyone connected, by allowing parents to send a quick message to the classroom teacher at their convenience. Customer service at HiMama is very good and parents have found Caroline very efficient and helpful should they come across any issues. As the owner of Little Sprouts I feel the overall customer service has been excellent right from the beginning, and appreciate Ron's support in setting the system up with me back in February 2014. Areas I would like to see improved would be to have the option to send a message to a specific group of families. Currently the options are one family or the entire classroom. I would also like the option to put music to the photos so that a DVD could be created of the child's school year. Access to all the school photos would be a wonderful option as currently we have to go into each child's report to see the entire group of class photos. Although the classroom journal does show a few pictures, I would like to be able to see all of these photos as a running stream. Thank you to Ron and the staff at HiMama! You have made a wonderful difference to the parents and families at Little Sprouts, and I can't thank you enough!

### "Good simple product"

July 25, 2019

4.0

My little one goes to a day care where they use this app. Great to keep track of kid's activites at the day care. The notification feature which alerts parents is pretty good. Good quality pictures can also be uploaded so whenever there is an event at the day care you get to see your kid in action. Allows downloading pictures ao you can save a copy. Reports generated in this tool are also good. Overall a great product.

Pros

It's very simple to use and understand. Updates for your child are sent as soon as they are uploaded.

Cons

Lack of different color themes is sort of a let down.

### "Wonderfully Splendid "

December 4, 2020

5.0

Overall experience has been great I believe even school should use this if they don't already I don't have school age children yet but I sure hope they're using this when they get there and my favorite part is if I don't quite get along with one of his teachers like personally I don't have to speak face-to-face with her, I can communicate with her over the app and everything's kept so its very safe for both parent an teacher with a common loved child involved! I hope everyone starts doing this.

Pros

I love that it allows me to stay in constant contact with my son's teacher. This is the first time I've ever used anything like this with a daycare and it makes communication so easy I am informed of everything that happen through the day I need to know as soon after it happen, not at the end of the day, In A report or letter sent home. I know everything that is going on with my son while I'm not there.

Cons

It took a little getting used to at first just understanding how everything works and what all it did but now I understand it's pretty easy and you can say everything and where to find it.

Overall, it was a good communication tool and if I need it in the future, I will certainly use it!

Pros

It was pretty user friendly and was helpful to stay abreast of school activities with a photo feature.

Cons

It was not easy to use the parent portal, so I did not get the most out of this feature.

My son’s childcare uses this app. I like it a lot since they can upload daily pictures and we can download it. Also the ease to pay the tuition fee. The app is quite easy to use.

Cons
