Head Start Families prefer text messaging. Learning Genie enables Head Start teachers or staff to communicate with individual families or a group of families in a two-way messaging format.
Head Start agencies are doing their best to hire translators for families who speak limited English. However, translators can be expensive or not readily available. Learning Genie’s Auto Translated Chat solves this problem. You can now send and receive messages in 104 different languages.
Head Start Agencies are spending precious time and resources organizing family events, but the message isn’t always getting home. Learning Genie can send digital flyers to attract families and can also add a reminder, which automatically syncs to their phone’s calendar. When used together, participation rates improve.
Language literacy is the number one indicator when it comes to school readiness. Learning Genie provides the books read in classrooms virtually to families. We were featured in the NHSA 2017 Innovation Summit in Salt Lake City. Our goal is to have every family read up to 300 books a year to their child!
Tracking in-kind hours used to be a pain: we make it easier. Automatically track the hours your families are spending working toward their individualized goals with ease and real time approval.
We help teachers by reminding them which families allow their children’s photos to be shared according to the agency’s privacy policy. Administrators also have an approval queue to monitor the messages their teachers are sending to families.

When the Learning Genie was introduced to me, I was very excited about sharing with the parents what I was teaching to the children on a more personable level. One of the most valuable features that I used was taking photos of the children doing activities and being able to send the pictures electronically to the parents on a daily basis. The parents were very excited each day to receive their email and see what their child had learned. The parents would use information we provided on a daily basis and talk about what they learned at school. This was a great conversation starter. Most children would come home from school and ask their child what they learned at school today and most would say “nothing I just played”. With the daily information I found that the children showed what they learned at school sometimes teaching their parents some things.
