Making Life Safer & Easier for Everyone!

SimplySafeChild’s overall mission is to improve safety for ALL children and provide peace of mind for caregivers. We will continue to add a plethora of features to accomplish the following goals:

Improve equity among families who lack the resources to transport their children to and from school every day (when you can’t be there to see them get on the bus, we’ll confirm they boarded via an alert sent to your phone)
Lower the stress and anxiety associated with the constant worry about whether children boarded the correct bus or got off at the correct stop (in the event of loading/unloading errors, bus drivers and parents will be notified)
Reduce instances of children being left in cars if parents forget to drop them off at daycare (within minutes of your child’s absence from daycare or school, all parties receive an alert that he or she isn’t there)
Decrease child bus stop abductions by providing parents with real-time alerts (caregivers can precisely time their arrival to the stop or know when to confirm their children made it home safely)
Improve child abduction or runaway recovery rates (by decreasing the time it takes to realize a child is missing and providing important specific information to authorities, response times are exponentially shortened)
Increase the amount of quality time parents can spend with their children by decreasing the amount of time dedicated to school management (by enjoying access to your child’s attendance, teacher/parent-to-parent communication, assignments, grades, and all payments within one easy-to-use system, parents will save hours a week on these tasks)
Provide parents with the ability to link key information to their children’s IDs (parents can input important medical or mental health data for school staff or substitutes to access via card scanning in an emergency- for example, knowledge that a child has diabetes if he or she passes out)
These goals are just the beginning.
