Routines is a two-way communication tool designed to enhance the connection between parents and educators. It replaces daily sheets by capturing essential information like:
Sleep times
Meals
Nappy changes
Requests
General Notes
Routines gives a voice to the children in your care, keeping parents informed and educators organised.
Accessing Routines
Educators can find Routines in the Tools menu. If this option isn't visible, contact Educa's Support Team for assistance.
Viewing Routines
The Routines log provides a daily summary, showing the number of records created by type across your entire centre.
Each record's details can be viewed by applying filters at the top of the page. Note that parents and profile teachers will only see records for the children they are linked to.
Recording Routines
To record a routine, click New Entry and select the relevant type. You can create entries for one or multiple children. If you're adding multiple children, you can tailor the details to each child's experience.
Once you've entered all the necessary information, hit Save to add the records to your Routines log.
Managing Records
Deleting Records: Routines can only be deleted on the day they are created. After that, they become permanent.
Printing Records: Need a hard copy? Use the Print function in the top right corner of the page.
Adding a Sleep Record
For sleep records, you can either log the start and end times after the child wakes up or record in real-time.
When the child falls asleep, create a new entry, record the sleep time, and click Save (without entering a wake-up time). The Routines log will display all children who are currently sleeping and how long they have been asleep.
When the child wakes up, go to Sleeping Now at the top of the Routines page, select the child, enter the wake-up time and click Save to complete the entry.
