BrightPath Launches BrightPath Connect: A State of the Art Application to Enhance Communication Between Teacher and Parent
CALGARY, March 5, 2015 /CNW/ - BrightPath Early Learning Inc. (TSX-V: BPE) "BrightPath") is pleased to announce the launch of an online parent engagement application, BrightPath Connect, to further enhance communication between parents and their children's teachers.
BrightPath Connect enables teachers to connect real-time with parents of the children in the centres through a mobile application and email messaging. Periodic updates, daily reports, reminders and photos are being shared instantaneously, providing parents with digital updates regarding their child's well-being, development and social interaction.
"This initiative strengthens BrightPath's relationship with the families we serve," says Mary Ann Curran, Chief Executive Officer of BrightPath. "Research shows that the majority of parents want as much information as possible about their child's activities and well-being in the time they have been apart. Frequency of parent-teacher contact is positively correlated with the quality of child care as it enhances trust between parents and teachers."
BrightPath piloted the program prior to deciding to partner with the software provider Hi Mama Inc. ("HiMama"), a Canadian company. Feedback from parents involved in the pilot phase was decidedly positive; they noted the tool was easy to use, enabled timely interaction with their children's teachers and reduced paper. They appreciate experiencing first hand their children's daily activities through reports and photos, and the ability to work in better partnership with teachers to achieve developmental milestones.
The Company has implemented BrightPath Connect in all of its 52 centres.
