About this app

Are you a busy parent who perhaps finds it difficult to keep in touch with your child’s educational development? What are they currently learning at nursery or school? How are they progressing in different subjects? ILD Parent is the perfect solution and has been designed to assist busy parents to keep in touch with their child’s early year’s practitioner, teacher, nursery or school.
