Home Observations

Home Observations page provides parents a way to upload photo or video evidence that can be used to support the child's development within Footsteps.

Uploaded home observations will be available within Footsteps to approve/reject. Only approved observations will be displayed within the Parent Portal newsfeed.

For more information regarding reviewing home observations within Footsteps, see our help guide here.
