iCloud Email

Is it not possible to check more than 1 iCloud email account on a single iOS device?

For eg. lets say on my iOS device that I check an @iCloud.com email account which is paired with the iCloud account that I use on this iOS device. And then, lets say that my child also uses an @iCloud email address that they have paired with their iOS device and iCloud account. As long as I have the correct credentials (and proper authorization before all you privacy wonks jump on me), should I not be able to setup my iOS device with this 2nd "email" account?

I am able to setup multiple Gmail, Hotmail and other public/private email accounts on my iOS device, but seemingly not another iCloud account!! What am I missing?

That is what I am trying to do Eric. I have it working now - the only difference was that while I was previously trying it over Cellular, this time I enabled WiFi and tried after connecting to the hotspot - voila, am able to sync email, calendar, notes etc.

You can access the e-mail address tied to the Apple ID logged into iCloud. To access your child's e-mail address, you would need to log in using their Apple ID.
