Educa Software
Educa is a cloud-based communications platform for child care centers, preschools and early learning programs. It enables teachers, parents and administrators to communicate and stay informed about student milestones, program goals and student information.
Teachers can share updates about class activities in real time, and they can connect specific activities to class curricula and program goals. The planning and assessment module helps teachers set learning goals and share progress with parents. Progress for each child is tracked in chart format and users can access reports on parent and child activity.
Educa can be configured to suit various education styles and requirements such as Montessori schools, state guidelines or school-specific programs. The application also offers a portal for sharing policies, information and forms. Users can customize forms as needed.
Educa offers apps for iOS and Android devices. Support is provided by phone, email and online chat. Pricing is per month.

None that I can think of. It's a great portal that works well. No glitches, no issues just seamless information.

Pros
An accessible menu, easy to follow time line. I appreciate how simple it is to find the information and updates I am after.
Cons
The design/aesthetics, more specifically how photos appear. Feels a little cheesy and dated. Some of this may be to do with how it is used by the preschool staff?

Learn how to use.
Pros
It's great for parents/whanau who will be able to see their children's learning and preschool will be able to send information faster.
Cons
Some families do not have computer or smartphones that allows them to view learning stories. Some have limited access on the internet so it can affect some families.

There are no cons really on my experience as an Educator, Centre Manager and a Parent it has only been positive, it is a much easier, less time consuming tool to document children's learning, all families loved it, especially grandparents that live overseas or in different states, they loved having the opportunity to be close to they grandchildren and be part of their day to day life. And as a parent I loved that I'll have my children stories and memories of their early years of learning for the rest of their life and that one day they may show it to their own children.

We have been using Educa for a few months now and are thrilled with it! Our educators are inspired everyday to share moments & stories with families so easily. Our families are absolutely loving the program and seeing what their children are doing each day, sometimes live! The connection between educator, child & family ( even extended family ) is brilliant - our family involvement has gone through the roof! Most importantly educators have more time with the children as they are not spending hours & hours writing observations and learning stories. We cannot recommend Educa enough - best decision we ever made.

We have been using EDUCA since the beginning of 2016. I don't have a negative thing to say about the product. EDUCA is easy to use, you get great customer service, great online training options and great reporting functions.
My educators love it, because they are getting the most feedback and involvement from families ever and it is easy to use!
As I Director one of the many things I love about it is the REPORTING! Knowing that families are reading the learning, tracking my educators learning stories and seeing the families comments are amazing benefits!
