The Provider Calendar holds everyone together

The Provider Calendar simplifies scheduling for both parents and staff. Integrated with LilyPad’s Parent Portal, it offers benefits that lead to more seamless coordination and minimizes confusion. The Provider Calendar enhances daycare operations, streamlining communication and helping everyone focus on what matters most—the children.

How does it work for parents?

The Provider Calendar integrates seamlessly with LilyPad’s Parent Portal, giving families instant access to your daycare’s upcoming events. Parents can log in anytime to review the calendar, helping them stay on top of things like pajama days, field trips, and early closures. This real-time transparency builds trust and reduces last-minute miscommunication, ensuring that families are always prepared for the fun you’ve planned.

With the Provider Calendar, parents can sign in anytime to review the upcoming events and activities you’ve planned. From spirit days to holiday parties, parents know what to expect and can prepare their little ones for the fun! This transparency helps build trust and ensures everyone is aligned—no more missed pajama days or last-minute scrambles. For example, when a parent signs in and sees that their child’s favorite superhero day is tomorrow, they have time to ensure everything is ready—no more stressful morning surprises!

How does it benefit staff?

The Provider Calendar is a central hub for managing shifts, meetings, and events for staff. Need to rearrange a meeting or change an activity? Simply update the calendar, and the changes will be reflected in real-time for your entire team. Everyone stays informed and in sync, minimizing confusion and creating a seamless experience from planning to execution.
