How We Keep You in the Loop
Three things every Mountainside parent can count on.
Stay connected
The myKidzDay app sends photos, meals, naps, and notes during the day, so you see what your child is up to without having to call.
Talk to us anytime
A question at drop-off, a message in the app, or a phone call during the day: whatever is easiest for you. Tell us what is going on at home and we will tell you what we see here.
Health and safety
Our policies follow Massachusetts EEC guidelines, and we keep families informed about closures, weather days, and anything that affects your child's care.
