Hello Kita · Kita app for Waldfeucht
Hello Kita is a web app for Kitas, nurseries and daycare centres. Parents report their child absent, staff keep the group diary and nappy log, and the manager looks after access, the staffing traffic light and the menu. It all runs in the browser and, if you like, sits on the home screen with a single tap.
In brief
Hello Kita is a nursery app from Wasa Consult in Heinsberg. It runs in the browser on computers, tablets and smartphones and brings parents, staff and management together in one place. Messages, the noticeboard, absence reporting, authorised collectors, the group diary and the menu are all part of Basic. Pro adds checking in at the entrance, meal ordering, the Portfolio Studio and reports for staff planning.
Tour
Every room in a Kita has its own jobs. Choose a room in the building or keep scrolling: each stop shows which Hello Kita feature helps there, and whether it comes with Basic or only with Pro.
1Stop 1 · Entrance
When a child wakes up poorly, nobody needs to phone in: parents report the absence in three steps, whether it is illness, a holiday or another reason. The people authorised to collect are listed in the app with photo, phone number and written authorisation. With Pro, children check in and out on a tablet terminal without a PIN, and live attendance shows at any moment who is in the building, children and adults alike. In an emergency, that matters for fire safety.
2Stop 2 · Group room
The group diary gathers the activities, observations and news of every group. The nappy log keeps a record for each child, and when supplies run low, staff ask parents directly for nappies, wipes or spare clothes. First aid and incidents are recorded properly in the accident book. Pro adds a day by day record of settling in, which parents can follow wherever the team has shared it.
3Stop 3 · Kitchen
Parents can already see the weekly menu in Basic. With Pro, they order lunch in a monthly calendar with a cancellation deadline. Families top up their meal credit via PayPal or pay in cash, and the manager records the payment. The kitchen sees the number of meals per group, with allergies and diet types, and statements and receipts can be downloaded as PDF.
4Stop 4 · Staff room
In the staff area, employees find their working hours, their leave, their certificates and the team noticeboard. Announcements can also be published for staff only. With Pro, staff report sick in the app and the manager is notified straight away. Pro also adds tasks and duties: jobs, the rota and handovers are assigned in the app rather than on scraps of paper.
5Stop 5 · Office
The manager sets up children, groups and access rights and invites staff and parents separately, by invitation link or by QR code with a printable letter for parents. The staffing traffic light, with a draggable pointer and your own wording, shows parents what care looks like today. For child records and consents, the manager sees every change with date and time. Pro adds reports with a forecast for the next three days, and the Friends' Association.
6Stop 6 · Home
Parents read announcements with pictures and PDFs on the digital noticeboard, message the manager and staff, and take part in polls and lists of what to bring. Closure days, celebrations and parents' evenings are in the calendar. In Basic the app can be used in German and English, in Pro in twelve languages. Popup messages in Pro appear when the app is opened and, if you wish, also as a push notification on the phone.
Who lives in the building?
Roles and permissions decide who sees what in Hello Kita. Each Kita sees only its own data. Within the setting, management, staff and parents each get their own access.
With Pro, the Friends' Association also gets its own access, for grandparents, local businesses and supporters, for example.
Manages children, groups, staff and access rights, sends invitations and blocks accounts, sets the staffing traffic light and keeps an eye on consents and absences.
Records in the group diary, nappy log and accident book, writes announcements for parents or for staff only, and finds working hours, leave and certificates in their own area.
Report their child absent, keep child records and consents up to date, read the noticeboard, dates and menu, and message the nursery, in German or English, or in Pro in twelve languages.
Pro · Portfolio Studio
With the Portfolio Studio, your team creates a development book for every child, sorted by nursery year and spanning all their years with you. It works on the PC in the office, on a tablet in the group room or on a phone when out and about. Parents see the pages that have been shared with them and download the portfolio as a PDF.
Basic: view the Portfolio Studio and all templates. Pro: design, share and export as PDF.
Colour themes and languages
A colour theme changes the look of the entire app for management, staff and parents. Logos and important status colours stay as they are. Basic includes the Hello Kita Classic and Nordic Blue themes; Pro includes all nine colour themes and your own branding: your logo in place of the Hello Kita logo, on the login page and as the browser tab icon too.
In Basic the app can be used in German and English. Pro offers twelve languages, and each family chooses its own. According to Wasa Consult, no external translation service is involved, so the content stays within the nursery.
