Technology Stack
01 Overview
eyParent / eyWorks engagement context.
eyParent is part of the eyWorks nursery software ecosystem. The product helps nurseries keep parents connected to daily activity, learning journeys, forms, bookings, invoices, payments, and staff messages.
Nursery schools needed a secure mobile-first way to connect parents, staff, and operations through one app experience.
Evolve Blue provided mobile app development, backend development, cloud infrastructure support, ERP platform support, and staff augmentation.
02 The Challenge
eyParent / eyWorks constraints to solve.
- Parent updates were hard to centralize across daily diaries, messages, forms, bookings, and invoices.
- Nursery communication depended on more manual touchpoints.
- Parents had less immediate visibility into their child's day and learning journey.
- Invoice follow-up, payments, and booking workflows required more manual handling.
- Multiple nurseries needed secure data separation and scalable backend support.
- Parent observations from home were harder to bring into the child's learning journey.
03 The Solution
eyParent / eyWorks solution architecture.
Evolve Blue planned the parent mobile experience around daily updates, learning journey sharing, parent messaging, forms, invoices, payments, and bookings.
The backend used YII PHP, REST APIs, and AWS hosting to support secure data handling and scalable multi-nursery operations.
Real-time synchronization helped parents receive updates and helped staff share diaries, forms, invoices, bookings, messages, and child development updates through the app.
