What is Educa?

Educa is a private online platform where teachers and educators can document and share children’s learning with families.

Research tells us that when educators, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children achieve better educational outcomes.

(Henderson and Mapp, 2002: 7)

Educa is a safe, secure online space that brings your community together to support and enhance learning.

• Using Educa, teachers can instantly share special moments and milestones wih families through photos, videos and written updates.

• Families can access their child’s profile any time, making comments, leaving feedback and supporting learning at home.

• Newsletters, policies and other important documents are also stored within Educa, so they are easy for everyone to access.

• Educa helps to track things like curriculum usage and family engagement giving managers a good overview of what is happening in their center.

Educa is trusted by over 100,000 early childhood professionals and families.

“ Educa has helped me to trigger conversations with my son about his day. I’m a strong believer in parents showing an interest and involvement in their child’s learning. It emphasises to kids how important their education is and nurtures their love of learning.”

Danielle Gillard, Parent, The Boulevard Childcare Centre

“Educa was a natural choice for us as it is far more interactive for families. I like that parents can log in and invite their extended family to join their child’s profile, parents can upload things and contribute to the child’s portfolio which is a really unique feature. Many of our students have family in other countries, so this is a wonderful way to keep in touch.”
