What is Lyncat Niu
Lyncat Niu is a platform for early childhood education centres and nurseries to communicate with families without having to maintain their own website or app. It comes in two pieces:
- niu-admin — the internal panel (
admin-niu.lyn.cat) where you and your team publish news, manage authorizations, upload photos, and run the day-to-day. - niu-portal — the public site of the centre (
<your-centre>.lyn.cat) that families see.
This manual focuses on niu-admin, which is where you spend most of your time.
Who this manual is for
- Directors who want to understand how to set up the centre and delegate tasks.
- Educators who need to publish content and manage the daily information of their groups.
- Administrative staff who handle billing, family contracts, and communications.
