About ChildDiary
Save hours with your observations, where you can attach photos or videos, add curriculum tags such as Aistear... or create your own customized curriculum tags. Build childrens' portfolios without stress or overwhelm! All the observation records that you create in ChildDiary are linked to Aistear, Siolta and Montessori, which links to Curriculum Planning, Activities planning, Group and Curriculum Reports (great for inspections for Department of Education or Tusla Inspections) and Individual Assessment Reports. You can save the information only for you or your setting, or share it with the families. When you decide to share with the families, you'll have access to two popular features: "Seen by" to check who saw what you shared, and "Disable comments". Book video calls for your team meetings, meetings with parents, or remote education in an easy, quick and safe way. Add curriculum tags to your observations.
