Share the magic of early learning
Your program cycle & family engagement – in one place
Time for what matters
Learning Stories change how you spend time – less data collection, more time reflecting on and connecting to children.
Connect meaningfully
Regular, reflective sharing builds collaborative relationships. Family feedback helps individualize your teaching.
Make Learning Visible
Our learning story templates help teachers document and share each child’s unique journey – families and teachers see the learning, share ideas and collaborate.
Stories give you room to truly capture the learning – to provide context and to share your teaching, with heart.
Educa is a full program cycle solution. It includes Learning Stories, plans, a form builder, assessment ratings, a document portal, message boards and more.
Assessment that engages families
Educa uses Learning Stories, a narrative assessment format. Build a purposeful partnership with families using assessment they can understand.
Tools to support teacher growth
Use story review workflow to help new teachers fully capture learning in real time. Each teacher has a private workspace for PD.
Assessment that does not distract
Link to multiple framework goals in each Learning Story to meet reporting requirements as you go. Educa has most frameworks, including the DRDP.
Help families see your approach
Each story, individual or group, provides a way to share your philosophy. It builds family trust and confidence in your teaching.
Reports help decision-making
Reports on learning, on parent engagement, on teacher activity and more help you understand your service and save time in compliance.
Build teamwork
Educa is a collaborative platform where class teachers can work together at each stage of the program cycle.

“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.”
