Staying connected to your child during the school day is about so much more than just convenience; it is a way to nurture their confidence, provide reassurance, and give yourself one less thing to worry about. While we all wish we could keep our little ones safe in our arms forever, it’s also important to recognize that allowing them to learn, grow, and thrive independently and distraction-free while at school is a core part of their development. It’s a delicate balance between maintaining that connection while reinforcing the rules of a classroom environment and our child’s need for autonomy.
And finding the right tools to help manage this balance is key. That's where Cosmo comes in, offering a simple way for you to stay connected during your child’s school day. Whether it’s sending a quick reassuring text as they walk to school for the first time or checking in when they’re picked up by another parent or guardian, we help ensure you both can feel confident and secure throughout each day.
Learn more about how Cosmo bridges the gap between connection, communication and independence, while supporting your family’s unique needs.
1. Live GPS Tracking
For many parents, a major source of anxiety during the school day, especially if their kids walk to school, is not knowing if they made it to their classes safely or if they are indeed in the location where they should be. Our JrTrack smartwatch helps alleviate this stress with robust GPS tracking, giving you the option to check your child’s location at any time right from the Mission Control Parent App. With a quick glance, you can seamlessly monitor your child's location on school grounds or check their location history without ever having to call or text them directly. This gives you a way to discreetly check in on their whereabouts without drawing any unnecessary attention away from their studies. Plus, we’ve recently updated our GPS tracking system with our latest 3.6 software release, allowing for even more accuracy across cell and satellite towers and additional peace of mind!
2. Two-Way Communication
From fire drills to more urgent matters, we know that parents want the comfort of knowing they can communicate with their child no matter where they are. That’s why our JrTrack smartwatch offers two-way calling and texting to you and the contacts you’ve pre-approved. And because JrTrack is a standalone phone and watch in one, it has its own phone number that you can text directly from your cell phone. No need to download an additional app just to communicate! As an added feature to help your child stay focused on their studies, you can enable "School Mode" to temporarily disable messaging and other non-essential functions, except to guardians and emergency services during designated hours.
3. Emergency Alerts
In the event of an emergency or unexpected situation, our kids’ smartwatch serves as a welcome safety net, offering peace of mind for both parents and children. Your child can quickly and discreetly trigger an SOS alert, instantly notifying you that they need assistance. Once that happens, you’ll receive real-time updates of your child's exact location, allowing you to pinpoint where they are and track their movements if they're on the move. The smartwatch will automatically answer all incoming calls so you can hear exactly what is happening in their background. You can also toggle 911 calling on to allow your child to call emergency services directly in times of need. This gives you and your kids the added comfort knowing that help is just one tap away, ready to provide support or alert the proper authorities as needed.
4. School-Friendly Features
We’re proud to say that our JrTrack smartwatch is also designed to be school-appropriate. It doesn’t have any of the distracting features of a typical smartphone—no open Internet and no social media. It is compact and secures comfortably around your child’s wrist, ensuring it won’t be a distraction in the classroom. Additionally, the watch can be set to vibrate, eliminating disruptive sounds during those crucial school hours, like test-taking or study hall. Plus, with "School Mode," you can temporarily disable messaging and other non-essential functions during designated hours, keeping your child focused on their studies and ensuring you’ve set them up for success.
With our JrTrack smartwatch, it’s like you’re giving your child training wheels for independence. They get increased autonomy while away at school or any home away from home and you can breathe easy knowing your kid is just a tap away. It's a win-win for families who want to keep connected without going overboard. So go ahead, give your kid some freedom to spread their wings—we’ve got your back!
