Watch your Child Grow with Daycare online Streaming

I must have been lost in the dark ages of daycare when I was taking my children. I learned this week that since as early as 1996 their were websites providing schools and day cares with the technology to install 'nanny cams' that customers can view live online at any time during business hours. Although, it appears that the day care online streaming craze did not really start until early 21st century.

If you are like me as a parent, you wonder all day about how your child is interacting in the day care setting. We wonder if the teachers are being fair and respectful. We worry that because they were crying when we left them, they had a bad day or cried all day. Just knowing that I could log on and watch my child at any time during the day would be huge. But to actually go to work in the morning and check on my kids when I get to work, would be phenomenal. I would go back to work if I could find affordable day care that provided this service in my area.

I was looking at some video and reading about this service through WatchmeGrow.com. This company sets up everything for this system and runs it all remotely. The childcare workers have no access to parent usernames and passwords, increasing security for the parents. Parents have to register with the Watch me Grow website and then be authorized by the day care center before receiving access to any live streaming video.

I am so excited about this concept that I intend on doing more research and provide more interesting and compelling information on the subject of watching your children at day care via live streaming webcams in the day care center.

After I read this article, I did some checking around because I had never heard about this either until I read your blog. Unfortunately, I live in hillbilly Alabama and the nearest center with these capabilities is over 100 miles away in Birmingham. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will be encouraging the daycare centers in my area to check into these options.
