Parent Portal

During the height of the 2020 pandemic Matrix Human Services early childhood program had to transition from in-person learning to virtual self paced curriculum. The need for a single dashboard with pertinent information became evident. This project was deemed successful because it met all accessibility standards, was able to deliver all information across mobile and desktop, and easy to update by non-technical staff.
