Log an incident (a bump, bite, fall, or allergic reaction) and track it to resolution. Keep a clean record for parents and regulators.

When something happens to a child, an incident report is your record of what, when, and what you did about it. Teachers usually file them from the mobile app in the moment; admins can file and review them on the web.

Filing and tracking an incident, done right

Review incidents

Go to Families & Children → Incidents. You'll see a table of reports with Child, Date / Time, Type, Status, Parent Notified, and Room. The tabs across the top filter by status: All, Open, Resolved, Closed. Use them to see what still needs follow-up.

File an incident report

  1. Go to Families & Children → Incidents and click Report Incident.
  2. Fill in the Report Incident form:
    • Child (required)
    • Center and Room (required): where it happened.
    • Date (required) and Time.
    • Type: Fall, Bite, Scratch, Bump/Bruise, Allergic Reaction, Illness, Behavioral, or Other.
    • Body Location: like left knee or forehead.
    • Description (required): what happened.
    • Action Taken: what you did in response.
    • Witnesses: type a name and click Add; add as many as you need.
    • Photos: attach photos if you have them.
  3. Click Report Incident.

Report Incident. Child, center, room, date, and description are required.

Keeping records clean

  • Be specific and factual in the Description and Action Taken. These are the fields parents and regulators read.
  • Add Body Location and Photos for anything physical. They make the record clear later.
  • Move a report to Resolved or Closed once follow-up is done, so your Open list only shows what still needs attention.
