Customize Learning Activities


Article summary

Create customizable activities to track children's learning and development; edit/delete learning activity names & categories

Have specific activities that you'd like to record at your center? Use our Learning activities option to create a customized list of activities that you do on a daily basis and would like to record. These can be sent as daily updates for parents to view or recorded with the "staff-only" option enabled to internally track a child's progress and development.

What is Learning?

"Learning" can be used to record activities aimed at the children's overall development and growth.

There are two main parts of learning activities:

Activity Name

This is the title of the activity. This title will appear on the activity update in the child's daily activity feed, along with any descriptions or pictures you choose to record.

Examples include: Circle Time, Play Time, Quiet Time, Sensory Exploration, Art Time, Silent Reading, or Math & Science.

Category

This is a specialized tag that you can add to your learning activities. These can be customized to indicate specific developmental skills that you want the activities to address.

Examples include: Literacy Skills, Math Skills, Social-Emotional Skills, Fine Motor Skills, and Gross Motor Skills.

How to Customize Learning Activities via App

Once your activity names are all set, you can choose the one you want to record, or go back to the main activity screen to continue.

To customize your categories, click on the three vertical dots and then "Manage Categories."

From there, you will be able to click on the trashcan icons to delete a category, or create a new category (in the same way you created new activity names).

Note: There's no way to edit a category name once it has been created. You'll need to delete it and create a new one with the corrected name.
