At Kiddie Academy of Tehaleh, we understand how important it is for parents to stay connected with their children throughout the day. To support this, we provide access to WatchMeGrow.com, a secure live-streaming service that allows parents to observe their children while they are in the classroom. This feature promotes transparency and peace of mind, ensuring parents feel connected to their child's daily activities.

Policy Guidelines:

1. Access:

   • Each family will receive a unique login to access the WatchMeGrow platform.
   • Login credentials must not be shared with others to maintain privacy and security for all children.

2. Daily Viewing Limit:

   • To maintain an optimal balance between privacy, security, and uninterrupted classroom activities, parents are allowed to access the live stream for a maximum of 60 minutes per day.
   • This time can be divided across the day as needed but cannot exceed the daily limit.

3. Privacy and Security:

   • The platform is encrypted and secure, ensuring the privacy of all children and staff.
   • Recording or sharing live-stream footage in any form is strictly prohibited.
