For preschools · Pilot applications
Attendance with QR check-in at the door, pickup permissions, the daily feed, announcements and end-to-end encrypted messaging. School management, teachers and parents use the same app, and everyone sees only what is opened to them.
Screens are design previews, shown in Turkish; names and numbers are illustrative.
Where are we? KinderConnect is in development. The screens and the security rules are written down; we are building the software to those rules and accepting pilot school applications. Apply for the pilot
Management panel
The school owner sees every branch, a branch admin sees their own. A class without attendance, a pickup permission waiting for approval and parent invitations not yet accepted all land in one “Waiting for you” list.
Who it is for
School management uses the panel on a computer; teachers and parents use a simple mobile layout on their phones. It is all one web app, and each role sees only its own work.
The whole day in one panel, with who-sees-what written down.
Three screens to learn: Today, Attendance, Pickup.
Your child’s day on your phone, and a record of who picked them up.
Features
From the morning door to the evening pickup, everything that happens at school is recorded instead of getting lost in notebooks, memory or group chats.
Attendance and QR at the door
The parent scans the code at the door and the child shows as “arrived” at that moment. The teacher marks the rest by tapping and reports absences with one tap. A class whose attendance has not been taken shows up as an alert in the management panel.
Pickup and pickup permissions
The teacher’s screen lists only the people allowed to collect that child, with their photos. If someone not on the list turns up, the handover stops; an exception needs the branch admin’s approval and a written reason. Who took the child, when, and from which teacher is recorded.
The parent sends the name, relationship, time window and a photo from the app. No handover happens until the teacher approves; the permission ends at the end of the day and the photo is deleted 7 days after pickup.
Daily feed and photo consent
Teachers tick meals, naps and activities in a few taps; parents follow the day as a feed. When a photo is uploaded the children in it are tagged, and if one of them has no consent, sharing stops. No blurring, no cropping.
Health and allergies
Allergies, medication and diet stay closed on screen. Staff who need them first choose why: daily care, a health incident or a parent request. Who opened them, when and why is recorded.
End-to-end encrypted messaging
Teacher–parent messages are encrypted on the device and only the people in the conversation can open them; neither KinderConnect nor school management can read the content. The teacher’s personal number is never shared, and the conversation stays in the school’s app.
Offline attendance
If the school’s internet drops, the teacher keeps marking attendance and the daily log. Records wait on the device, encrypted, and the top of the screen shows how many are waiting. When the connection is back they are sent automatically while the app is open.
Send an announcement to one class or the whole school. Drafts and published posts are separate, attachments stay inside the announcement, and you see how many parents it reached.
The school owner sees every branch on one screen; a branch admin sees only their own. A new branch is one more row in the list.
Pickup, delegating pickup, health, photos and messaging are switched on separately for each parent. Parents cannot raise their own permissions, and every change is recorded.
KinderConnect is an installable web app for every role. It opens in the browser, can be added to the phone’s home screen, and updates arrive on their own.
Notifications arrive as web push and stay generic, like “Your child’s daily log was updated”. On iPhone, the app must be added to the home screen to receive them. No SMS is sent.
The app is being prepared in Turkish, English, Russian and Arabic. In Arabic, the screen runs right to left.
Security and KVKK
Your child’s information is not just “protected” with us; it is limited: who can open it, where it is kept and when it is deleted are each written down.
ID numbers, phone numbers, addresses and health information are encrypted field by field with AES-256-GCM. Every photo and document is encrypted with its own key; there are no public links, and files open only inside the app after a permission check.
Each school’s data is kept separate; its sensitive fields and files are encrypted with a key of its own. Which school you are in comes only from your signed-in session; an attempt to reach another school’s record gets a “no such record” answer. No release ships without passing cross-school access tests.
Only the people in a teacher–parent conversation can open its messages. KinderConnect and school management cannot read the content; the server sees only who wrote to whom, and when.
Who opened health information, when and for what reason is recorded. KinderConnect’s system administrator has read-only access to school data, sees sensitive fields masked, and every look is recorded with its reason.
Data is stored on Cloudflare infrastructure in the European Union jurisdiction. Under KVKK this is a transfer abroad, based on the standard contract. Real school data is not processed until that process is complete.
For student and parent data, the school is the data controller; KinderConnect’s intended role is a data processor acting on the school’s instructions. We never sell personal data or use it for advertising or profiling.
Instead, we write down each measure. If we detect a data breach we inform your school without delay, and the school, as data controller, informs you and the Turkish Data Protection Board.
Pricing
Packages differ by the number of students, branches and staff. Prices will be settled during the pilot; we prepare an offer for your school.

FAQ
The questions we hear most from schools and parents. If yours is not here, write to destek@kinderconnect.app.
Only the child’s class teacher, the branch admin and parents with photo permission. Photos are stored encrypted, have no public link and only open inside the app.
Without your consent, no photo that includes your child is shared. We don’t blur or crop, because that can go wrong; the photo is simply not published. You can give consent later or withdraw it at any time, and withdrawal takes effect immediately.
Yes, it is kept abroad, and we say so openly. Data is stored on Cloudflare infrastructure in the European Union jurisdiction; we have no servers in Turkey. The legal basis for this transfer is the standard contract provided for under KVKK. Sensitive fields and all files are encrypted.
No. Teacher–parent messages are end-to-end encrypted; neither school management nor KinderConnect can read the content. If you choose to forward a message to school management, only that message’s content is shared, with your explicit approval.
Your messages are protected by a chat passphrase that only you know, and there is no way to recover it. You can set a new passphrase, but older messages then stay unreadable. This is shown clearly when you create the passphrase.
No. A notification says something general like “Your child’s daily log was updated”; it never contains the child’s name, message text or health information. The details are only inside the app. No SMS is sent.
Not from an app store. Open the link your school sends in your browser and install it on your phone with “Add to Home Screen”. On iPhone, notifications only work after adding the app to the home screen (iOS 16.4 or later). You can also use it on a computer.
Permissions belong to each parent’s relationship with the child, not to the person. Pickup, health information, photos and messaging are switched on and off separately. Only school management can change them; no parent can raise their own permissions, and every change is recorded.
In the app, enter his name, relationship, time window and a photo, and send it to the teacher. No handover happens until the teacher approves. The permission ends at the end of the day; only the teacher and the branch admin see the photo, and it is deleted 7 days after pickup.
No. Parents pay no app fee; the school is the one invoiced.
A child’s data is permanently deleted one year after they leave or graduate. Messages are deleted after two years. A photo sent for pickup is deleted 7 days after the pickup.
Yes. We don’t promise absolute security; if we detect a breach we notify your school without delay. As data controller, the school notifies the Turkish Data Protection Board and you.
Package prices are not final yet, and we don’t want to quote a made-up number. The structure is clear: fixed-price packages with student, branch and staff limits, and no overage or message fees. We prepare an offer for your school.
KinderConnect is in development. The screen designs and the security and data rules are written down, and we are building the software to those rules. Instead of a firm date we give you an order of work and share progress regularly. If you would like to be a pilot school, request a demo.
No, and we say so up front. Instead, we walk through the screens with you end to end and agree on a pilot period with a written duration and scope.
We kept the teacher side deliberately narrow: Today, Attendance and Pickup. Attendance is marked in bulk, the daily log takes a few taps, and pickup means matching the person with the photo on screen. We set up the first class together with you.
WhatsApp is a good chat tool, but it was not made for keeping records. In KinderConnect, who collected a child, when and from which teacher is recorded; for separated families you set who sees what, one by one; and the child of a family that did not consent never appears in a photo. The teacher’s personal number is not shared either.
For student, parent and staff data, the school is the data controller. KinderConnect’s intended role is a data processor acting on the school’s instructions; the roles and responsibilities are set out in the data processing agreement. We list every sub-processor and technical measure on the KVKK for schools page.
This is the product’s strictest rule. Each school’s data is separated both in the application layer and in the database relations; its sensitive fields and files are encrypted with a key of its own. Which school you are in is read only from the verified session, never from the address or the request. No release ships unless the cross-school access tests pass.
KinderConnect’s system administrator has read-only access to school data and cannot change any record. Health, ID and contact details appear masked, and every look is recorded with a reason. The content of teacher–parent messages is end-to-end encrypted; KinderConnect and school management cannot read it.
You cannot read the content; that is the result of end-to-end encryption, and it should be stated clearly in the school’s privacy notice. The rules are yours, though: working hours, message limits and, when needed, a time-limited restriction on a parent’s messaging with a written reason. If someone in a conversation forwards a message to you, its content is shared with their approval.
You can export your records at any time; this is a standing feature of the product, not a gesture at the moment you leave. After the subscription ends, your data waits 90 days and is then permanently destroyed.
You see a notice when your package reaches 80% and a warning at 95%. When the limit is reached, new enrolments stop and an upgrade link appears on screen; upgrading opens the limits immediately. The price of the package you bought stays fixed for the term.
Honest answer: an automatic import tool is not in our plan right now. We plan the move of student, parent and staff records together with you, based on the format of your data.
The school name, logo and primary colour appear inside the app. If the colour you choose fails the readability check, the system suggests the nearest suitable shade. The app icon and name are the same for everyone.
