Bring Authentic Assessment to Your Practice
Make assessment part of teaching, not just compliance. Educa uses Learning Stories to support a more meaningful approach to assessment that aims to understand each child’s true nature, using careful observation, and regular and comprehensive reflection on a child’s progress.


Turn Parent Communication into Collaboration

Use Educa Learning Stories to turn your families into active participants and collaborators in their child’s learning journey. Our Early Education Platform takes parent and family engagement to the next level, by encouraging frequent communication and engagement to support continued learning at home.

Empower and Inspire Your Educators
Learning Stories allow educators to convey their passion and highlight their professional contribution in a way that is not possible with checklists. The Educa Platform not only makes it easy to share heartfelt and reflective observations with families, but also helps to communicate the educational value of your teaching approach and builds trust in your program.


Educa Success Stories
Hear from Educa users themselves
These Learning Stories matter to our families. When a story is published they are excited, they are impressed by it, they are pleased by it. They come to pick-up with the biggest smiles saying:
"Thank you for letting me into my child’s world. Thank you for allowing me in the classroom. Thank you for giving me suggestions on what I can do next at home."
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 center to build these skills at home. A true partnership, where else can you get this?! It also allows us to set organizational goals for teachers and centers, so that they can be reflective and evaluative. It allows us to lift the quality of what we do.
Jackie Lints Co-Founder, Educare GroupIn the past, families took the pictures out of their portfolios and threw the rest away. With Learning Stories they respond to their child’s story. They get to see just how much I see their child, and sometimes they even learn things about their child 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.

I have seen teachers speak with more joy and passion through writing Learning Stories. They are praising children for what they can do. They are sharing in the celebration of their accomplishments. It’s so different from just moving the marker on a checklist. Teachers have the opportunity to sit and interact and take notes very closely, allowing them to truly reflect and see those AHA learning moments.
