Paul and Patricia both have a full time jobs and need to drop Chuck off at daycare five 5 times a week, 6 hours a day. They both are glad that Chuck is making social interactions with other children his age in addition to being cared for, but they would like to get more up-to-date feedback on their child’s daily events.

It is the week before Thanksgiving and ; today the kids are going to be finger-painting turkeys. While painting, Chuck starts scratching his face, which results in him getting covered in paint. Dan thinks that this is absolutely adorable and decides to take a picture with his Android tablet. He then immediately uses ChildFeed to share this picture with Paul and Patricia with a caption notifying them that he will get him clean soon. Patricia checks the account at work and is happily surprised to see this adorable picture of her child.

After playing outside for a while, it is lunch time. After all of the children have finished eating, Dan and his coworkers go through the children in his ChildFeed app, logging what they all ate and how much they the foods and quantities each child ate. Paul and Patrica notice that Chuck did not eat much today, and . They go back to check his eating history, and notice that he doesn’t eat very much whenever they serve macaroni and cheese. With this information, Patrica plans to tell Dan that it seems that Chuck does not like macaroni and cheese and that he should try to provide an alternative lunch for Chuck when serving macaroni and cheese.

Before picking Chuck up, Patricia checks ChildFeed for overall information on Chuck’s wellness and notices that he is not in a very good mood. Patricia picks up some ice cream on the way to the daycare to cheer him up. After picking him up, Patrica is glad that even though Chuck was away for six hours, she felt like she knew what her son was doing and how to best treat him once he was back.
