ChildDiary is a service that extends the communication between educators and parents by enabling educators to document daily records, development observations and also share spontaneous communications that can be shared instantly with parents.It allows Early Childhood Services and Schools to stop using facebook and other social networks to share photos and other private information because they don't guarantee the children's privacy. In ChildDiary every child has its own private profile that is only accessible by the child's parents and educators.Apart from instant sharing, through ChildDiary, Early Childhood Services can save time by replacing the existing paper development observations and daily records with digital records that simplify the act of recording meals, nappies/toilet times and activities. Once more, privacy is the key and all documents are only visible to the child's parents and staff members.Find more at: https://childdiary.net Show less
