The Newsfeed

When you make an observation or assessment about a child, this is posted to the News Feed for parents to view and interact with.

You can share what you have observed the child doing, and the parents can Like and Comment on the observation.


The Journey Tab and Assessments

  • Child Profile → Journey

Observations and assessments also appear in the child's Journey tab. Again, parents can Like and Comment on these to share their feedback with you.

Dashboard of a child’s educational progress report. The main section features observational notes from a teacher, including a story about the child exploring nature by digging for worms. Progress is tracked in areas like personal development and mathematics. An arrow points to a smaller image showing a progress chart with categories including communication, physical development, and expressive arts. The overall tone conveys educational engagement and developmental tracking.


Parental Observations

As part of your partnership with parents, you can enable parents to make their own observations about their child.

💡 Did you know? This allows you greater insight into the child's development and interests at home, as well as encouraging parents to really feel involved. This also empowers your teachers with more information to best support the child.

We've created a guide to assist parents in creating observations in the parents' section: Parents 🧸: Make an observation about your child

Approving Parent Observations

Parents' observations are not posted directly to the Journey tab or the News Feed; you will need to approve them first. You can view and approve pending observations in Child Development.
