“The daily sheet helps me feel like I’m a part of my child’s day, even though I’m not physically present. From every diaper change to the blocks he stacks, I appreciate knowing [my child] is loved and cared for the way I would if he were at home.” -- Tanya R.
Early childhood education is increasingly being recognized around the world as a crucial step in a child’s development. As an early educator, you have quite the responsibility—but having the right tools can help you feel empowered.
Early educators are already juggling so much—from fostering curiosity and engaging in meaningful interactions with children, to ensuring their health and safety—that tracking daily care activities throughout the day to share with families can be overwhelming. Building consistent communication with families is key to child development (not to mention an expectation of many families). Still, it’s all too easy to get bogged down in paperwork.
So, how can you get the support you need while also ensuring that families receive compelling information every day?
Digitizing your Daily Sheets
Digitizing processes is one of the best ways to save time and effectively connect with families. Picking the right easy-to-use tools can also empower educators to share student information in a compelling way, which leads to better outcomes for children.
Using a Daily Sheets tool allows early educators to track every aspect of a child's day; from check-in, diaper changes, meals, to check-out.
This provides a visually appealing way for families to track their children’s progress, and in turn, helps every early childhood program strengthen their partnerships with families with one quick click.
A Holistic and Individual Approach
Of course, families aren’t simply looking to know how the day went generally, they want to know everything that is going on with their child.
Families with young children are seeking a more holistic approach to communication to help bridge the gap between home and school. Sure, they want to know what their child has been fed, how long they napped for, and whether their medication was administered, but on top of that, families are now seeking to know even more about how their child spends their day: How is potty training going? What types of activities were they engaged in at Circle Time? Did they make a new friend today?
By using a tool like Kaymbu’s Daily Sheets, families get access to the most up-to-date information–like lesson plans, photos, and videos. This not only helps provide a robust and visually beautiful daily sheet, but enables families to feel more connected to the educational setting itself.
