Make children’s learning visible across your family child care network.
Bring observations, learning stories, planning, and family contributions together, with access configured for providers, coaches, and program leaders.
For organizations supporting multiple family child care providers.
Connected learning, across individual homes
Educa brings learning documentation and family communication into one place. For organizations supporting family child care, we’ll explore how that can fit the relationships between your providers, support team, and families.
Keep each child in focus
Connect everyday observations with learning, interests, and next steps.
Bring families into the story
Invite families to share comments and experiences from home.
Support shared reflection
Give providers and their support team a common starting point for conversations about learning.
See the learning behind everyday moments
A conversation, a discovery, a new way to solve a problem. Capture what happened and reflect on what it tells you about a child’s learning. In Educa, learning stories bring observations, photos, and reflection together in the child’s portfolio.
- Document individual interests, strengths, and learning over time.
- Connect stories with plans and next steps.
- Share learning with families and invite their perspective.
Shape access around the people supporting each child
Providers, coaches, and program leaders have different responsibilities. Educa’s access settings can support those relationships when the site is configured for your organization.
Providers
Document learning for children assigned to them.
Coaches and specialists
Access the provider groups and child profiles assigned to their role.
Program leaders
Use site administrator access when they need visibility across the Educa site.
Families
View learning shared with them and contribute to their child’s story.
We’ll work through who needs access to what before recommending a setup.
