Use Child Notes to share quick updates with families or keep teacher-only records. Notes live on the child’s profile under Notes and can be created as either Shared (visible to parents/guardians and teachers) or Private (visible to teachers only).
Where to find Child Notes
Go to the child’s profile → Notes.
Shared Notes (families + staff)
Use Shared Notes for day-to-day updates that aren’t a learning story, e.g.:
Changes to pick-up/drop-off
Allergies or medication reminders
Context that may affect mood or behaviour
Who can see: The child’s parents/guardians and any teachers with access to the profile. Extended family members do not see Shared Notes.
Notifications: When a Shared Note is posted, the child’s parents/guardians and profile teachers receive an email.
Important: Notes are not included in a child's profile download so are not a great place to share photos.
Private Notes (staff-only)
Use Private Notes for information only relevant to teachers.
Who can see: Teachers linked to the child’s profile. Parents/guardians cannot access Private Notes.
Notifications: When a Private Note is posted, the child’s profile teachers receive an email.
