For day cares
Tell parents about closures and changes
When a day care closes early, every parent needs to know within minutes. A follo reaches all of them at once, wherever they are.
How it works for you
-
Create a Group follo for the center
Use the center's name so parents know it at a glance.
-
Enroll parents with the code
At the sign-in desk and in the enrollment packet.
-
Send closures and reminders
Weather closures, early pickups and reminders about supplies.
Example messages
Little Acorns: cancellation
We're closed tomorrow because the heating failed.
Little Acorns: reminder
Please send a labeled change of clothes on Monday.
Little Acorns: urgent announcement
Early pickup at 3 today; the power is out.
Where the QR code goes
Next to the sign-in desk where parents stop twice a day, and in the enrollment packet.
Add the link to your website's parent page.
Why one-way fits
A closure notice should reach every parent fast and say one thing. One-way delivery does that without a thread of questions that buries the answer.
What follo is
follo is a one-way notification service that lets people follow a person, business, product, event, group, property, waitlist, or other subject through a link or QR code and receive updates from its owner.

Questions
How fast do parents hear about a closure?
Immediately in follo, and by email within moments for parents who allow it, on paid plans.
Can staff follow too?
Yes. Anyone with the code can follow, including staff and grandparents.
Is children's information stored?
No. follo stores the follower's email address only, never anything about the children.
