Article Summary

Transmit Data from Procare to ABCmouse.com

How to transmit classroom, child, and parent information from Procare to ABCmouse.com for use with the “Parent Engagement Program” offered through Kid Orange Tech.

Before You Begin

  • You must have an account for your center at ABCmouse.com that is part of the “Parent Engagement Program” offered through Kid Orange Tech. Call Kid Orange Tech at 888-906-0671 to speak with an educational consultant.
  • Exclude Children? If there are specific children you’d like to exclude (not transmit to ABCMouse.com), you’ll want to Create a Child Tracking Item for that purpose and Assign Tracking to those children before you continue.

What information is sent to ABCmouse.com?

  • A list of Classroom Names you select.
  • The name of each currently enrolled child who has one of those rooms assigned as their Primary Classroom. This includes all children whose Enrollment Status is “Enrolled”, even if the child is part of a Hidden Account. (See above for how to exclude specific children using Child Tracking.)
  • A default teacher for each classroom, called “Teacher Name”. You’ll enter the actual teacher names at ABCmouse.com.
  • The email address of the first person marked as “Lives With” on the Child Information & Relationships screen (image below). In this example, that would be the email for the mom, Maria Adams. Since the dad, Greg Adams, is the second person listed as “Lives With”, his email would not be included.
