About this app

The Teaching Strategies Family App helps you build connections with your child’s teachers and caregivers through clear and meaningful two-way communication streams. Stay connected to the learning that is taking place in your child’s classroom with multimedia-playlists, engaging activities, and two-way messaging with your child’s teacher.

The Teaching Strategies Family App is used by over 2,600 programs and 330,000 families to strengthen the connections between school and home.

* seamlessly communicate with your child’s teachers;

* explore our Digital Children’s Library, with over 200 eBooks, in English and Spanish, for preschool and kindergarten classrooms only;

The app is wildly inconsistent. Some uploaded pictures can be downloaded and some cannot. Why? The daily report doesn't appear to have any client side timeout when refreshing. It almost always hangs the first time I open the app, and requires closing and re-opening to fix. It would be way better to have a 10s refresh limit. An even better approach would be to have the refresh apply occur in the background and always have the daily report point to the last successfully downloaded report.

I had a 5 star before. Because we loved the free books. The 5 star for the free books. The app in general is poor. This will be the 3rd time I've had to delete and install. It will freeze and not open up at all. So deleting and reinstalling is the only way to get it up and running again for a short time until it happens again. The messaging service needs major upgrades. A IT tech needs to join in to make this app better, based on parent and teacher needs. Please fix and work on these issues.

Since this update the app has been having multiple issues. I hate that my kids daycare uses this app.. if you receive a notification of a picture, it won't show it. The workaround was uninstall/reinstall, talk about a PAIN!! And now the app won't let me login so now I can't keep up with my kids school. I've done the Uninstall/ reinstall, cleared cache, nothing - it just spins and spins. Do NOT update!! Clearly they haven't fixed this issue since it was reported back in May - see past reviews...
