How to Use Messages on Kidsday

Welcome to your new communication hub!

This guide will help you easily navigate the restructured messaging section to start conversations with parents, staff, or entire class groups.

Step 1: Accessing Messages

On the left side of the main application menu, locate and click on the "Messages" option.

Step 2: Starting a New Conversation

Once the messages window opens, click on the "Write" button (or the corresponding pencil icon) to start a new chat.

Step 3: Choosing Your Recipient or Group

You now have several options depending on who you want to communicate with:

  • Individual Chat with Parents: Click on the search bar and type the child's name. The system will automatically display the parents linked to that child.

  • Individual Chat with Colleagues: Search directly by name for the person you want to reach from the school/childcare staff.

  • Group Chat with the Class: You can now create a group chat or select the entire class to communicate with all the parents of that class simultaneously.

Tip: Once you have selected your recipient or group, simply type your message or press and hold the microphone icon to send a voice (audio) message.

⚠️ Important: Message Management and Privacy

To maintain full control over your communication, don't forget to visit the Settings section. There you can:

  1. Manage Message Schedules: Set the specific hours and days you are available to receive messages.

  2. Set Permissions: Control who has the right to send messages.
