How Do I Add Child and Family Accounts to Hatch?

Administrators and teachers can add children to Hatch at any time of the year.

If you do not see some of the options below, your organization may be using automated rostering. Check to see whether the child exists on the View All Children page.

If you are new to Hatch and are adding the very first children to your organization, your setup experience will guide you to options for adding children.

Select + Add New Family Member to add additional family members/guardians to the child's account. Up to four family members or guardians can be added per each child account.

Add Child Photo

A photo must be added for the child to play, but it can be added at a later time or requested from the family member if needed.

1. Select Choose File to upload a photo for the child.
2. Select Add Photo to use the camera on your device to take the child's photo.
3. You can request that family members/guardians add photos of children instead by checking the box Request photo from family member below Family Information.
