Pics to Parents

[coolconfidentme]

Do you ever text pics to parents of their child(ren)? I'm forever taking pics & occasionally I send some to parents. They love the look inside the child's day & ask me to send more. I also have a FaceBook page I post pics (without their face) of our activities. I have g'parents like my page so they can see the g'kid at daycare. Does anyone else do this or am I just randomly diff?

I dont have a facebook account but I do text. I send pictures to my parents of their child everyday through text. They love it! I have actually had a parent when I first started my daycare pick my child care services over others because I do this. It lets them know how their childs day is going & puts a smile on their face during the work day.

I text pictures ALL the time! I have more pictures of DCK than I do my own on my phone. ::

I use the tadpoles app on my iPhone, and am able to send pictures with one touch. There is a free trial, and after that is is $2.25 a month per child - but it is soooooo worth it. It also allows you to send daily reports, movies, accident reports, and notes straight to each parents e-mail with just a tap. My parents get 5+ pictures a day because it is so easy to share them.

I send pics almost daily and also have a private fb page for parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles with full photos of pretty much everything we do. The parents LOVE THIS, I do too! I love to share and 'brag' about them!

I send pics and videos all the time....

Yep, I text pics all the time, especially when I have drop in littles here. I think it makes parents more comfortable knowing that their child is having a good time.

Guilty... I am always taking pictures and video's. I always try to catch them when they don't see me recording. Some of their conversations are too cute and hard imitate without looking like a fool I usually save them all up, and make a slideshow/movie DVD for them and I give them away at Christmas for all the families. I choose cute music that has been in the daycare (who let the dogs out, Somewhere over the rainbow --- and they're huge hits.

I have a fb page that I have private for only families... & and I have blog on my website.

I use google voice as my business number and it doesn't support media text but I do occasionally send emails with photos and they do love it. I don't do it often because then the parents ask and expect it all the time and I just don't really have the time to be emailing them photos all the time, but I do it on occasion.

When a child first starts I will however text updates about 3 times a day to the new parents but I do that during the first 3 weeks or so only. I stop tapering off after the second week.

I have a dc fb page so I put the pics on there but I occasionally text a picture if a child had a rough start or it is a new parent. They always love them!

This app looks so cool!!! So does the parent need the parent version for it to work? Does anyone know if it's only available for iPhone? I have one parent who doesn't have an iPhone.

I email pics on a regular basis and also send a video of pictures home each year for each individual kid with 500+ pics

I am constantly taking pictures of the DCK's. Either to send to parents or to keep for our on-going album.

I have several years worth of photos and one of the favorite activities is for the DCK's to look at photo books. Sometimes they recognize themselves as babies or they recognize siblings.....it's always fun to see them look at them.

I have a camera with me at ALL times.

I take photos and upload them to my Macbook Pro. I then open iPhoto and tag each child's face in the photos. Come the end of the month, I upload each child's photos from the month (including pictures taken of each writing piece and artwork) into an album on Snapfish.com. Each album is labeled with the child's name and the direct link is e-mailed to the parents letting them know that the month's photos have been uploaded.

I will randomly upload photos to Facebook (with my business name watermarked on each photo), but not too often.

I e-mail my parents pictures especially when we are doing something new or Different.
