Yes, developing an app for our own children’s animated series Twinkle Trails, which can now be found on YouTube.
It has always been challenging combining both the convenience and limitations of technology. For example, saving the check-in photos of multiple students in quick succession can easily overload mobile devices, especially older ones.
We developed a way to delegate that job to the background and allow the device to do it at a steady, manageable pace, all the while delivering the same user experience regardless of how powerful their device is or how fast a connection they have.

One is the Little Family Room app, a mobile app designed for parents to have an overview of their child’s day at school, from check-in and out photos, learning moments and a secure platform to communicate with the teachers. It provides parents assurance, a sense of security and allows them to be part of their child’s day at school.
The other all-time favorite is Little Check In app, where schools can capture check-in and out photos alongside a temperature section and space to tick off any visual health checks. Who doesn’t like an all-in-one platform that can ease their daily operations?
8 years, time sure flies.
The need of educators, our users, to delight their students and parents. Our big goal is to make our educators’ day easier at school, eliminating any manual processes and increasing their efficiency in their daily operations. This will not only improve overall productivity, but it allows them to focus on teaching.
The eight years we had in development was also precious time getting to know our educators and school administrators very intimately. Little Check In is now not only an attendance-taking tool. It counts visual health tracking, student leave request management, late fees issuance, visitor enrolment and health declaration as some of its numerous other vital school features.
At its core it remains extremely reliable ensuring that time recorded is accurate–we pride ourselves in being able to prevent device clock tampering and photos are always safely uploaded.
We hope to continue to bring joy to our users. This might mean staying focused on anything that reduces manual intervention or laborious extra steps. Features such as Facial Recognition within the app remains effective in minimizing staff input but also creating some fun for the little ones in the school.
