CircleTime Mobile App at a Glance

The CircleTime™ Mobile App is an easy-to-use app for parents and contacts and is included with your Jackrabbit Care subscription. Once families enroll children and download the app, they can: 

  • Make payments and generate account statements.
  • Register children for programs and include documents, policy agreements, and signatures.
  • Receive and send messages to the childcare center.
