Real Time Streaming Web Video in Childcare Centers –

Great for Parents and for Centers

As a Tool to Support Needs of Child and Parents …

Now providing their service in Shepherdsville, KY!

Shepherdsville, Kentucky (August 1st 2011) – Shepherdsville breakthrough! Real time streaming web video in childcare centers is already popular in many areas, but now abcKam is providing their superior service in Shepherdsville, Kentucky at Lilly Pad Child Care.

With headquarters in Medford, New Jersey, abcKam.com (www.abcKam.com) is one of the only companies providing this service in the Shepherdsville, Kentucky area. Through www.abcKam.com technology, parents and grandparents can watch their children in action at their center from home, work or any location that has an Internet connection. Lilly Pad Child Care is the first center in Shepherdsville to take advantage of abcKam’s emerging service.

We feel that Lilly Pad Child Care will be a tremendous success. They signed up in July with an expected install date of August 12th. We are so excited about providing the webcams and we feel that it will be a huge selling point at their child care center. It just gives parents that extra peace-of-mind knowing they can check in throughout the day and see what their child is doing. Grandparents can log on as well and “visit” the grandkids without leaving their living rooms. How awesome is that?"

What is unique about abcKam is their advanced internet system. The only known secure web video viewing company that’s system is so advanced centers can set up parents to not only view just the cameras they want them to see, but also only allows them to view by day and hour. Martial Art studios, Dance Studios and of course Child Care Centers have children that only attend on certain days and certain times. With abcKam’s advanced system centers set up parent’s access to view only at those specified days and hours. Parents can still log on to view the calendar of events and bulletin boards they just can’t view the center outside of their child’s time. That is a gigantic step over abcKam’s competition that uses a generic set up. abcKam’s top engineers and web developers can tailor a system to fit any need.

According to Deborah R. Feldman, LCSW, a former teacher who has had a clinical social work therapy practice in Cherry Hill, NJ since 1988, streaming video services provide many advantages for both parents and center owners. “Many parents who are faced with sending a child to childcare are dealing with separation anxiety, guilt and trust issues,” she explained. “Their biggest concern is often selecting the right center for their child. What a great advantage it is for them to be able to observe and/or check in with a child to allay their fears! For the teachers, directors and center owners, it is an excellent advantage to provide this video opportunity in their centers because while they know how the child behaves away from his parents, the parents don’t. Now, the parents can view their child’s behavior. Center operators and parents can work together in providing the best service possible for their child.”

This is how abcKam.com works. The centers have their own password-protected website. Only families with children enrolled in that center have access to the site. With specific passwords and identification numbers assigned to the center and the child, parents can observe their children’s actions from various rooms at the center. In addition, parents can also access a chatroom and bulletin board to communicate with staff, participating parents and receive daycare center information.

AbcKam’s services require the installation of cameras in play and recreation areas of participating centers. Secure streaming web video is provided on www.abcKam.com, ensuring that only parents with the center’s password can access the encrypted website. With security a top priority, abcKam utilizes several different layers of protections for utmost security in each center’s websites. As security software continues to hone and improve, abcKam constantly upgrades its technology to ensure security.

abcKam also points that another gigantic advantage of having video is allowing Grandparents who live out of state a way to watch their Grandchildren grow and play right in front of their eyes. With families moving around more then ever Grandparents often miss out on the day to day activities of their Grandchildren. They don’t get to see them participating in sports or dance classes on a regular basis. Centers like Lilly Pad Child Care are changing that!
