Teachers - For early childhood educators, HiMama is an in-classroom tool for daily documentation, learning & development recording and planning, and communication with parents.

Administrators - For preschool owners/directors, HiMama is a back-office tool for monitoring center activity, administrative reporting, collecting tuition payments, and communicating with parents.

Parents - For families, HiMama is a direct window into their child’s life at daycare: Everything from meal details to photos to learning milestones. And of course, a direct line of communication to their child care center.
