# Change a Parent's Email

When updating a parent's email address, it's important to note that:

- The email address on the parent profile is used for center communications, such as newsletters, billing invoices, daily sheets, document requests, and more.
- Changing the email on the parent profile **does not** change the parent's login email.
- The login email remains the address originally used to accept the invitation. If a parent needs to update their login email address, please contact Procare support via chat.
