Drop-Off Notes - Staff

Prev Next

Drop-Off Notes provide a seamless communication experience for families and staff to communicate important information.

Procare provides families with a drop-off notes form to streamline and standardize morning drop-off communication.

Enabling Drop Off Notes

Drop-off notes are automatically enabled for all accounts and accessed via the Child Care Mobile App by staff and families.

Note: Staff must be assigned to a room in order to view drop-off notes. They can still access drop-off notes for their assigned rooms, even if they don't have permission to view Parent/Staff Messages.

Staff: How to View Drop-Off Notes

To access completed drop-off notes, navigate to the Messages section within your child care mobile app. Drop-off notes will appear in chronological order and can be viewed throughout the day, but are only available same-day.

Notes will appear in red if they are new or have not been previously reviewed
