🔒This option requires site admin access. If you don't see these options, please ask someone with site admin access to help.

Classes are the main way to organise child profiles on Educa—often by room, age group, or teaching team. They help structure your site and can also be used to manage privacy, limiting what teachers can see. Additionally, you can set up Groups as another way to organise profiles. Note that only Site Admins can create and manage Classes or Groups.

Key Differences: Classes vs Groups

  • Class: Each child can belong to only one Class. Used as their primary grouping.

  • Group: Children can belong to multiple Groups. Helpful for shared interests, transitions, attendance days, etc.

⚠️ Children missing required details cannot be archived.

If you see this notification in the class management screen, it means the following profile/s in that class are missing required information. You can click on their name to be taken directly to their profile and edit it.
