    Pros
    My educators love it, because they are getting the most feedback and involvement from families ever and it is easy to use. As I Director one of the many things I love about it is the REPORTING.
    Educa a great product for all ChildCare Centre's and The Great thing is Parents just love it.
    We have been so happy with this software, the parent feedback has been amazing they just love it.
    Cons
    Only maximum on one video file per child story. Story editor is terrible when it comes to placement of media (video & picture).
    Some families do not have computer or smartphones that allows them to view learning stories. Some have limited access on the internet so it can affect some families.
    I haven’t found anything I don’t like about this software yet.

    Educa

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    Whenever I have a problem, which isn't very often, the staff are always very helpful and prompt in helping me out and they can always sort out my problem.

    Pros

    I really like the ease of Educa and how I can use it at work, at home or on my phone. It is a great resource for us to keep in touch with whanau - routines, messages, daily diary and learning stories. Parents are more likely to comment on learning stories as well as giving us stories from home.

    Cons

    Would like a few more borders, but it isn't a major issue for us.

    Best Documentation Program I have Used

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    Incessant and time consuming paperwork and record keeping are dramatically and easily reduced. Staff are extremely helpful and pleasant.

    Pros

    Ease of use for documentation and sharing with parents and other educators. Integration with existing business methods was a non event because this easily replaced the numerous other things I was using.

    Cons

    Some of the things that this program does are not simple for me to understand. More because I am not computer literate enough rather than the program being at fault.

    Beneficial for Educators and Families

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    Overall, I am very excited with this EDUCA. I feel this will be very beneficial for our school!

    Pros

    I love how I can capture the special moments of a child through these learning stories. Adding pictures to this is a plus. Parents can have a better understanding of how their child is learning and experiencing at school.

    Cons

    I am still learning how to operate this software using my phone and computer. It will take some time.
