Common questions
What is 7 Kids and who is it for?
7 Kids is for families and for the schools and activity providers that look after their children. Parents and staff use the mobile app. A school administrator uses the web portal to onboard the institution and manage school administration.
What is Child Development Intelligence?
Child Development Intelligence (CDI) is how 7 Kids talks with families and educators about a child’s development. It looks across everyday domains instead of reducing a child to one score. It is not a medical or clinical assessment, and it does not promise a developmental outcome.
What are the six development domains?
Physical, Emotional, Social, Cognitive, Creative and Independence. CDI uses these six domains so a conversation with a family can go beyond a single score.
How do parents receive school or activity updates?
When a school uses 7 Kids, families can see daily reports, photos and session updates in the app. What appears depends on that school’s setup.
How can school observations lead to practical ideas at home?
Where nurture is turned on, a suggestion can be connected to a school observation. Parents choose whether to try an activity. Feedback to teachers stays optional and private unless the family shares it.
How do schools and families control access to information?
Each school is its own tenant, so its records stay separate. Staff see the schools they belong to, and families see their own children. Privacy Shield lets a parent opt in per child. A staff photo is held back when that child appears with other identifiable faces.
Is a particular feature enabled for every school?
No. Daily reports, development insights, nurture activities and other tools depend on the school’s configuration, the person’s role and what the platform has released.
