View, Thank, and Comment on Stories

Learn how to view your child’s stories, thank educators, and add comments.

Written by Educa

Overview

Learning stories give you a meaningful window into your child’s learning, interests, relationships, and everyday discoveries. When you read, thank, or comment on a story, you help build a stronger connection between home and your child’s early learning service.

Your engagement makes a real difference. A simple comment, photo, or thank you can help educators learn more about your child’s experiences outside the service, continue conversations with your child, and create a richer picture of their learning journey.

In Educa, the Thank button is used to show appreciation for a story. This works in a similar way to a Like button on other apps, but is named Thank to reflect the value of recognising the time, care, and thought educators put into sharing your child’s learning.

View your child’s stories

  1. From the Educa sidebar, select My Children.

  2. Select your child.

  3. Open the Stories page.

You’ll see the stories that have been shared with you.

You can also use the filter option in the top-right corner to view different story types, including:

  • Individual Stories

  • Group Stories

  • Day Journals

  • Parent Stories

Thank a story ❤️

The Thank button is a quick way to show your appreciation for a story.

  1. Open a story from your child’s story list.

  2. Select Thank at the top of the story.

The educator will be notified that you thanked the story.

How to thank or like a story
