Release Notes 10.29.2025

Waterford.org will release an automatic software update on October 29, 2025.

This month’s updates make it easier for families to manage their accounts and help young learners access their lessons more independently. As always, if you have questions, visit our Help Center for support.

Current iOS and Android App Version 2.16.0

Affects: Waterford Early Learning

To get the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of the Waterford app: 2.16.0. Updates are applied automatically whenever possible to keep things running smoothly.

New Features

Caregivers Can Now Personalize Their Profile Name

Affects:  Caregivers |   Waterford Upstart

Caregivers can now update their own profile name directly within their Upstart account. This improvement gives families more control and flexibility over their account information.

For more tips on managing your Upstart account, visit our Help Site article.

QR Codes Make Student Logins Simple and Fast

Affects:   Caregivers |  Young Learners |  All Waterford Programs

Families can now create unique QR codes for each child, making it faster and easier for children to log in to their learning sessions, especially on tablets. Each QR code lets a child sign in directly through the Waterford Early Learning (WEL) child app, without needing help from an adult.

QR codes can be generated from:

  • family.waterford.org – for children enrolled through schools or child care centers
  • upstart.waterford.org – for children enrolled through home-based programs

Families can take a screenshot of the QR code to save or print. The option to download as a PDF will be available in a future update.
