more • Event pictures: when your center adds a picture to a calendar event, it now shows at the top of the event screen.
1.7.33 7h ago
• Morning care from home: the Last bottle entry now takes how much and what kind, and every entry has a note — "7 oz formula, then some banana pancake" reaches the classroom with the time.
• Videos your child is tagged in now play from Activity → Photos and can be saved to your phone.
• Team families: games and practices say what they are, you answer for each child on the roster, and your family's whole calendar is one link you can subscribe to. Coach updates and team chat live in your inbox.
• Waitlist: see your family's place, accept an open spot, or give up your place — right in the app.
• If your program tracks levels or belts, your child's current level shows on their card.
• Check in or out well before or after your program's hours and you'll see a short note. It never blocks check-in or check-out.
• Some centers now ask families to confirm a short statement at check-in or check-out. Tap the box, then continue. Nothing changes unless your center turns it on.
1.7.32 1d ago
Daily reports and attendance now show times in your program’s local time zone, including when your device uses a different time zone.
1.7.29 2d ago
When your child is checked in, the home screen now leads with their name, how long they have been there, and when to pick up. You can see your own check-in PIN in the app: tap to show it for 20 seconds and it hides itself again.

• Drop-in centers can ask for a photo of your child, and of you, when you register.
• Invite a second parent or guardian from People & Access; they join with a code.

• Memberships: join a plan, apply a code, and see your benefit on the home screen.
• Fixes to memberships and signing in.
1.7.27 4d ago
Cancelling a booked drop-in visit now works. If it is too late to cancel, the app tells you why instead of appearing to do nothing. Signing in with a password is clearer too. Plus fixes.
1.7.25 6d ago
Bloomily Parent is now simply Bloomily. A simpler way in: enter your email and we'll send you a code. Scan a drop-in center's code and create your account right there, register your children, see how many spots are open before you leave home, and watch your child's visit clock live. Switch between your children's schools from one account. Plus fixes.
1.7.24 Sep 2
You can now scroll the sign-in screen while the keyboard is open, and put the keyboard away when you're done typing. Plus small fixes and improvements.

1.7.9 Aug 23

Your child's profile now shows everyone who teaches in their room, not just a single name.
Also in this release

• Enrollment forms you have not finished are labelled clearly, so it is easy to see what still needs you.
