Note: If your program only uses IgnitePanel by Hatch™, please see [Teachers] Getting Started With IgnitePanel by Hatch™.
Log In to Your Hatch Insights™ Account
To get started, you'll need an admin at your program to add your info to your school. Once they set up your account, you'll receive a welcome email from Hatch™ with a temporary password to help you log in.
The Let's Go! button in the email will take you to the Insights login screen.
On this screen, enter your email address (the same one where you received your welcome email) and your temporary password found in the welcome email. Click Log In.
Next, you'll be prompted to create a new password. Your password must be more than six characters. After setting up your account, you can get started with Hatch.
Getting Started in Insights
When you first log in, you'll see a pop-up directing you to your Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant is your dedicated checklist to help you keep track of all your rostering tasks.
When you go to the Setup Assistant page, you will see personalized setup tasks related to your role and the Hatch products your organization uses.
The Rostering Process
On the Setup Assistant page, you'll find all the tasks you need to complete to onboard your program. To the right of each task, you'll find different options for rostering. Here’s a breakdown of the ways you can roster as a teacher:
1. Type Your Information
- This is recommended for small classes.
- Add children and family members using a form.
2. CSV Import
- This is recommended for large classes or for users familiar with spreadsheets.
- Copy your roster data from a spreadsheet into Hatch’s CSV template for bulk import.
Task Messaging
Depending on your program, some of these tasks may have been completed for you by an administrator. If there is existing data in Insights for one of your tasks, then you'll see on your checklist a green banner at the top of the step. For example, the image below, showing step 1, shows that two children have already been added (see the green banner).
You probably have more than one child in your class, but if your admin sets up your classes and children for you, then you should check the View All pages before marking your tasks complete.
Setup Assistant Steps 1–2
In the Setup Assistant, you will find links to all of these options in steps 1-2. We've provided some helpful articles to assist you in completing each step:
-
Step 1: Add classes (Note: If your classes are managed by your admin, then you will not be able to add classes)
-
Step 2: Add children and family members
Setup Assistant Step 3
Step 3 is very important to get children playing. For Hatch products, children log in by selecting their photos, so before they can play, their photos need to be uploaded.
For more information about adding photos, please see [Org Admins, School Admins, Teachers] Adding Child Photographs.
You can continue to manage your schools, users, and classes using the ROSTER menu in Insights.
Setup Assistant Step 4
After you are rostered, you can start using your Hatch product. Use the articles below to learn more about using your Hatch product:

Setup Assistant Steps 5–7
After your children have started playing, come back to Insights to see their progress and provide additional support when needed.
We encourage you to start with the reports listed in Setup Assistant steps 5–7, but you can explore more using the REPORTS menu in Insights.
Delegating Tasks on the Setup Assistant
As a teacher, you can delegate tasks to another teacher in your class or classes, but you cannot assign a task to an administrator. To assign a task, click the Delegate Task button.
After you click this button, you'll see a pop-up that will allow you to select from existing members of your organization to assign the task. For example, you may want your assistant teachers to add your children, so you can delegate the task to them.
Once you delegate the task, you will see the following message highlighted in orange:
Your assistant teachers will see the task highlighted on their Setup Assistant like this:
