As an educator, you can invite family members of your students to join Toddle, enabling them to participate in their child's learning journey.

In this article:

To begin, navigate to:

Here, you'll find a list of all students in your class, along with the connection status of their respective family members. You can invite family members to Toddle using the following methods:

Note: The feature to invite family members is available on the Toddle web platform only.

You can send email invites to the family members of your students, either individually or in bulk.

Use any of the following access points:

In the bulk invite modal:

Once an invitation is sent, the status next to the family member will update to Invite sent. This changes to Connected once the family member accepts the invitation and joins Toddle.

Click the three-dot menu next to the student, then click Invite family via email.

Navigate to the student’s Overview tab and scroll to the Family information section. Click Invite family members to enter the family member’s details.

In the invite modal, fill in the family details, including their first name, middle name, last name, and email. If there are multiple family members to invite for this student, you can include them by using the 'Add another family member' option.

Choose the preferred language for the invitation email and click Send invite.

Once the invite is sent, the status next to the family member will show Invite sent. This updates to Connected once the family member accepts the invitation.

Note: Invitation emails expire after 1 week. If a family member has not responded within this period, you will need to resend the invitation using the three-dot menu next to their name.

When you send the invitation, the family member receives an email with the subject line: You’re invited to join Toddle by [school name], and the sender is listed as [school name] via Toddle.

This is what an email may look like. Family members can click on Accept invite to join Toddle.

The class invite link allows family members to request to connect to a student in your class without needing a direct email invitation. You can share this link using any of the following access points:

A modal will then appear with the invite link. Click Copy link and share it directly with family members.

Once a family member uses the link and selects their child’s name from a list, you will receive an approval request in the Family members tab.

You can approve or reject requests individually for each student or perform these actions in bulk using the action bar at the bottom.

Upon approval, they will receive a confirmation email letting them know their access has been approved. They can then sign in directly from that email to view their child’s learning on Toddle.

Note: Family members do not gain access to any student information until you approve their request.

You can generate printable invite documents for your students individually or in bulk using the following access points:

Before downloading, you can select the preferred language for the invite document.

Based on whether you download family invites in bulk or individually, the following will occur:

Each document contains the student’s name, a unique family invite text code, and a scannable QR code, along with step-by-step instructions for joining Toddle. You can share this with family members either via email or as a printed physical copy.

Family members can then connect to their child’s dashboard by entering the text code manually or scanning the QR code in the Toddle app.

The Family members tab gives you a real-time view of invitation and connection status across your class. Each family member will show one of the following statuses:

From the three-dot menu next to any family member in the list, you can:

Additionally, you can download a list of students who have no family members added from the three-dot menu at the top right of the page. This is a quick way to identify which students still need family invitations.

Q1. Once a family member joins, which classes will they have access to?
Once family members have joined, they will automatically have access to all classes associated with their child.

Q2. Can one family account be connected to more than one child?
Yes, a single family account can be linked to multiple children on Toddle. The family members must connect each child separately using the relevant invitation method.

Q3. Do family members need to reconnect at the start of each academic year?
No. Family members remain connected to their child's account across academic years and do not need to be re-invited. Their access continues until you or any other educator removes them.
