The viewing system, which is located at the daycare and managed from a secured access centre, provides a unique opportunity for parents to view live, real time video feed not "snap shots" or stills of their child, at the click of a mouse via the Internet. Parents and authorized family members such as grandparents, aunts and uncles are given a personal user ID code to access the facility’s cameras resulting in ability to view their child/grandchild live from virtually any computer or television with an Internet connection. Now, parents and family members can enjoy watching the growth and development of their child in the childcare environment as it happens.

BRINGING FAMILIES CLOSER TOGETHER

SecureDaycare realizes that for millions of parents, a double income is needed in order to support the family household. People have seen an increase in the number of working hours demanded by employers with less and less available time for quality family activities throughout the workweek. SecureDaycare has found the solution to this ever-growing concern using today’s most common portal, the personal computer and the Internet. 
Imagine it’s 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon and you’ve been in meetings all day. Too tired to tackle a new assignment you look out the window and see children playing in the park across the road. Your thoughts drift away to your child. You get on the Internet, log on to SecureDaycare.com, type in your private user ID code and there she is, painting a picture of a house with colourful flowers, green trees and a bright yellow sun. For a few moments, you are taken into her world at day care, sharing in her creativity and imagination. You smile and sign off. Somehow, the meetings don’t seem quite as bothersome as they did a few minutes ago. In fact, you tackle your workload with a renewed sense of enthusiasm. After all, you just reminded yourself what it’s all about.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO TAKE AN INTERNET PEEK OF YOUR CHILD IN THE DAYCARE
