Creating a child profile is the first step in Educa. Once the profile is created, your team can document learning, assign teachers, add the child to a Class, and invite family members when you are ready to share.
Before You Add a Child
Before creating a child profile, make sure you have:
First name and last name
Date of birth
Any required site-specific fields, such as gender
At least one family contact
Guardian consent to store this information in Educa, based on your centreās enrolment process
Note: You can create the child profile before inviting family members. However, at least one family member should be invited before you start sharing learning with the childās family.
How to Add a Child Profile
Go to Children in the main menu.
Select All Children.
Click + New Child.
Enter the childās required details.
Optional: While creating the profile, you can also:
Upload a profile photo
Add the child to a Class
Assign a Profile Teacher
Link a siblingās profile
Click Save to create the child profile.
Invite one or more family members when you are ready to share learning.
After saving, the child will appear on the All Children page. If you assigned the child to a Class, they will also appear under that Class.
Note: Only linked teachers and invited family members can access the childās profile.
Link Sibling Profiles
If a child has a sibling already in Educa, you can link their profiles. This helps connect family members across the childrenās profiles.
Tip: For three or more siblings, link two children first. Then open each remaining siblingās profile and link them to one of the already linked children. Educa will automatically connect the whole sibling group.
Edit a Childās Profile Later
You can update a childās details at any time.
Open the childās profile.
Click Edit Profile.
Update the relevant details.
Click Save.
You can also allow parents to update selected profile details through your siteās Privacy Settings.
Add Children in Bulk
If you need to add several children at once, you can request a bulk upload.
Download the Bulk Child Upload Template.
Fill in each childās details in the required format.
Send the completed spreadsheet to Educa Support.
For full instructions, see the Child Bulk Upload Guide.
