Common questions
Is Lillio the same as HiMama? +
Yes — HiMama rebranded to Lillio. It remains a well-regarded platform focused on centers and preschools, with curriculum and assessment tools as a major focus.
Does CubbyBook do curriculum planning? +
No — CubbyBook focuses on attendance, daily reports, incidents, enrollment, and parent communication. If structured curriculum tooling is central to your program, Lillio may be the better fit; many home providers find daily activity logs cover what parents actually ask about.
