How does it work?
Parent Portal is an extension of iCare that can be accessed by a URL that you distribute to families and staff. The information that is sent and received through Parent Portal is done through a server that you run at your center or school or through a server we host for you. Both solutions provide the same web capability, and the data transferred from parents to you or vice versa is secure.
Communication
