When you open Famly, the first page youâll see is Parent Home. This is where you can find tasks, updates, and information shared by your center, all in one place.
Parent Home
At the top of Parent Home, youâll see two tabs:
Home â your main view, where updates and tasks appear
Bookmarks â posts youâve saved to come back to later

The Home Tab
The Home tab is where youâll spend most of your time. What you see here may vary slightly depending on your childâs status at the center.
If your child has not started yet
If your child has a future start date, youâll see a New Starter section at the top of your Home tab.
This includes:
A countdown to your childâs start date
Key information about the center
Contact details for the center team so you can easily get in touch
Once your child has started, this section will automatically disappear.

Your to-do list
If your center has set any tasks for you, youâll see a To-do list on your Home tab.
These tasks might include things like:
Completing forms
Signing documents
Finishing onboarding steps before your child starts
Youâll be able to see what has already been completed and what still needs attention.
If there are no tasks for you to complete, this section wonât appear.

Your Newsfeed
Below any tasks or welcome information, youâll find your Newsfeed.
This is where your center shares updates with you. Depending on how your center uses Famly, you may see:
Status updates about your child during their day
Posts shared with all families or with specific groups, such as your childâs room
Photos and observations about your child that only you can see
Invoices related to your account
Each center may use the Newsfeed slightly differently, so what you see here may vary.

Interacting with Posts
If your center allows interactions on a post, you can:
Like a post by tapping the heart icon
Comment with text and photos
âšď¸ You can only add photos to Newsfeed posts, not to observations or assessments of your child

Saving photos by tagging your child
If your center posts a photo of your child in the Newsfeed, you can tag your child in the photo. When you do this, the image will automatically be saved to the Photos section of your childâs profile, making it easier to find later.
The Bookmarks Tab
If you want to save a post to come back to later, you can bookmark it.
All bookmarked posts are stored in the Bookmarks tab at the top of Parent Home, so you can quickly find them in one place.
