An informed community around every child
Developed in New Zealand, Educa keeps the focus on each child. We create learning visibility through automation, templates and sharing that does not add to your work load. We make you more efficient, online.
- Easy to share — documentation, observations, ideas
- Easy to see – child info, work & input from others
- Easy to link — to curriculum, plans, documents
- Everything you need — planning, assessments, reviews
- Easy access – update on the go, all at your fingertips
- One-click reports – on children, centre activity
Create a circle of learning around each child. Everyone who cares about a child can see and understand the approach and therefore everyone can contribute.
Observations Linked To Learning
At the heart of Educa are the “stories” that can be linked to any curriculum goals or plan, shared with parents, printed and saved in child portfolios as evidence of learning.
Documentation For Compliance
Educa has form builders and templates that can be tailored to meet most compliance requirements — observations, assessments, reviews, appraisals.
