Log a child's meals, naps and activities

Everything you log for a child during the day gathers into that child's daily report, which families read from their side. To log the same thing for several children at once, use Log for the whole room. Teachers and school admins can log.

Log an event for one child

• On the web, open the classroom, find the child's row and select Log Event. Pick a type from Select an event type: Photo, Bathroom, Food, Bottle, Activity, Nap or Sleep check. Fill in the details and select Save Highlight (Save Photo for a photo).
• In the app, open the child's profile and tap Log Event. Choose an event type: Note, Food, Bottle, Activity, Nap, Bathroom or Sleep check, then Save. Photo is its own button beside it.

The entry shows up on the child's timeline and in the daily report right away.

Meals

Choose Food, then the meal (Breakfast, AM Snack, Lunch, PM Snack or Dinner) and the Amount eaten: None, Some, Half, Most or All. If you publish a weekly menu, the day's planned meals are filled in for you; see Author weekly meal menus.

Bottles

Choose Bottle, then Contents (Breast milk, Formula, Milk or Water), Amount offered in ounces and How much did they drink? Clear Day shows a rough estimate from the two, such as "Half of 4 oz — about 2 oz".

Naps, bathroom, activities and notes

• Nap and Sleep check are stamped with the time you log them. For live nap tracking across a room, use the Sleep board.
• Bathroom can carry optional detail on the web: Diaper (Wet, BM, Dry) or Potty (Success, Accident).
• Activity: write what happened in the note. Leave it blank and the report says "Activity logged at" and the time.
• Note is for anything else the family should know. It's in the app's type list, not the web roster menu.

Read the daily report

On the web, open a child and select Daily report. In the app, tap Today's report on the child's profile. Both show a Summary when one has been written, then Attendance, Meals, Bottles, Diapers & potty, Naps, Activities, Notes and Photos. The web report also has Behavior and Sleep checks.

Use the arrows to step back a day. The web also has a date picker. You can't go past today. A day with nothing logged reads No report for this day in the app and No daily report for this day. on the web.

Set the daily behavior rating

Behavior is one rating a day, Star Day, Green Day or Red Day, separate from events. Staff set it and families see the badge.

• On the web, the child's profile has a Behavior panel. Select Rate today (it reads Change rating once a rating exists), choose a rating, add a note if you like and select Save.
• In the app, tap the behavior badge next to the attendance badge (it reads Rate today until one is set), choose a rating in Today's Behavior and save.

The panel keeps a timeline of past ratings.

Tag skills on an observation

In the child's timeline, an observation has a Tag skills action. Pick the developmental skills it shows and save. Tagged skills roll up into the Skills observed card on the profile. Skills come from the catalog your director manages; see Manage the skill catalog. In the app, tagging is rolling out: if you don't see this yet, it isn't on for your school.
