Share the magic of early learning
Assessment & family engagement together
Heart-led documentation using Learning Stories
More time for what matters
Learning Stories serve two needs – family reporting and assessment. They change how you spend time – less data collection, more reflection & focus on children.
Connect meaningfully
Regular and reflective sharing of learning in real time builds collaborative relationships. Peer and family feedback helps individualize your teaching.
Make Learning Visible
Educational outcomes improve when teachers and families work together with shared understanding.
Our learning story software helps teachers observe, notice, document and share each child’s unique journey in a format that invites feedback and collaboration.
Educa gives you room to provide context and express yourself in your stories – expansive or brief, with images, videos and fancy layouts, or not.
This open format applies to each step in your program cycle. Educa is a complete educational solution – all in one place.
Assessment That Engages Families
Educa uses Learning Stories, a narrative assessment format. Build a purposeful partnership with families – share stories in real time, integrate their feedback into your teaching and create a 24/7 learning clock.
Improve Understanding of Children
The need to write Learning Stories about what represents growth for a child encourages teachers to observe more closely and to reflect. The process promotes understanding and differentiated teaching.
Showcase Your Teaching
Each story, individual or group, provides an insight into your service – a way to showcase your philosophy, your teaching and to show families you care. This builds family trust and confidence in your approach.

Educa supports program or data cycles from end to end, organized around each child – on any device. Individual and group planning, a custom form builder, Learning Stories and assessment rating – all in one place.

"Educa gives us a place to build and grow the picture of a child. This story can be shared with parents and future teachers, who can work in partnership with the centre to build these skills at home. A true partnership, where else can you get this?! It also allows us to set organisational goals for teachers and centres, so that they can be reflective and evaluative of what they do. It allows us to lift the quality of what we do."
(On Learning Stories) "In the past, families took the pictures out of their portfolios and threw the rest away. Now, they respond to their child’s story. They get to see just how much I see their child, and sometimes they are shown things about their child that they didn’t know. I think it is incredibly powerful for them to see that the staff enjoys their child, and that they are more than welcome in our programs."
"Educa has made our preschool more connected, more efficient and more in tune with parents. Everyone loves it."
“Fantastic way to communicate with families. Easy, effective and efficient. Saves precious time for teachers by providing a simple format."
"From a business owner’s perspective the move to Educa has been an investment. It engages our families and educators more than ever. We’ll never look back."
