SproutComm Family engagement for Head Start The pilot

Security

Built like the records it keeps matter — because they do.

An engagement record is a legal document a program may one day have to stand behind. SproutComm is built so that record deserves trust: protected in transit, bounded in access, and complete by design.

Encrypted in transit

Every connection to SproutComm — a parent's phone, an advocate's browser — runs over TLS encryption. Nothing travels in the clear.

Bounded access

Staff sign in to their own workspace. Each family reaches only its own thread, through a private per-family link — no passwords for parents to manage, reuse, or lose, and no way to wander into another family's conversation.

The audit trail is the product

Every message, reply, and confirmation is timestamped and attributable the moment it happens. That completeness is the security posture: a record that documents itself cannot quietly lose the parts that matter — which is also exactly what §1302.50 asks a program to prove.

A hard AI boundary

All intelligence runs server-side. A parent's phone only displays text, plays audio, and records voice — it holds no model and makes no decisions. Family content is processed only by Meta's first-party Muse models; it is never routed to third-party contributor models.

Offline without loss

Plenty of families live with unreliable connections. Confirmations and voice notes queue safely on the phone and send when service returns — a dead zone delays the record, it never erases it.

Demo hygiene

The public demo runs entirely on synthetic data. Pilot data stays in the pilot, separated from anything public — the two never mix.
