Childcare curriculum & assessment software
One closed loop: plan against a standards-aligned framework, assess through authentic observation, individualize teaching, and share real developmental progress with families. Aligned to the NAEYC 2025 program standards with a Head Start ELOF default.
- Aligned to the NAEYC 2025 standards
- Observation-based assessment
- Accreditation-readiness built in
Everything your teaching program needs
From the learning framework to the accreditation-readiness map, curriculum, assessment, individualized teaching and family engagement live in one connected system.
A standards-aligned learning framework
A configurable backbone of learning domains, age-banded objectives and a shared progression scale that the whole teaching loop hangs off.
- Aligned to the NAEYC 2025 program standards, with a Head Start ELOF default framework
- Crosswalked to Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, and Tennessee early-learning standards, with more states on the way
- Curriculum units and an activity library tagged to objectives
- Coverage gaps surfaced so no domain quietly goes untaught
Observation-based assessment
Capture authentic moments as you teach and build an evidence-backed picture of each child, without a single high-stakes score.
- Log observations with photos, tagged to objectives
- Place each child on the progression scale over time
- Observation-first, strengths-based and multi-rater
- "Not yet observed" reads as an opportunity, never a low score
Individual learning plans
Turn each child’s own progress into prioritized next steps and intentional teaching.
- Next-step goals derived from a child’s observations
- Teaching strategies and inclusion accommodations
- Group children by a shared next step
Portfolios & progress reports
Turn a term of observations into a durable portfolio and a conference-ready summary families can actually read.
- Curate observations and photos into a developmental portfolio
- Observation-first progress reports, rolled up by domain
- Share progress with families through the parent portal
- A running history of each child across terms
Family curriculum engagement
Give families their child’s developmental progress, not just photos, and invite them into the documentation.
- Per-domain progress families can follow
- Home ideas tied to what their child is working on
- Families share what they see at home, for you to review
Accreditation-readiness & AI assists
Auto-assemble your live data into a NAEYC accreditation-readiness map, and let AI carry the documentation, always yours to confirm.
- A readiness map across the NAEYC 2025 standards, never a pass/fail score
- AI drafts lesson plans, suggests observation tags and writes progress narratives
- Every AI suggestion is yours to review, edit or reject before it is saved
- Nothing is applied to a child’s record without your confirmation
Lesson plans and daily schedules
Give teachers a fast way to plan the week, then share the upcoming schedule with parents so they know what to ask their child about at the dinner table.
- Digital library to save and reuse past lesson plans
- Share daily schedules automatically to the parent portal
- Tag activities to specific early-learning domains
- Circle time9:00 AM
Weather, days of the week and a morning song.
- Sensory play10:00 AM
Water table with floating objects, a density lesson.
- Story and literacy11:00 AM
Read-aloud with letter sounds and picture talk.
