Everyone must know the good old nursery rhyme:
What are little boys made of? Frogs, snails, and puppy dog tails. What are little girls made of? Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

I thought to update this rhyme to:
What is Kindiedays made of? Planning, playing, and collaborating. What more is Kindiedays made of? Managing, messaging, and photo shooting.
You see, Kindiedays is not only pink or blue, but it represents all the colors, as it has so many qualities and features in it!
A kindergarten, preschool, or any early childhood education center can cope very well with Kindiedays as it has all the needed facilities included. Kindiedays consists of three apps: Kindiedays Educator, Kindiedays Family, and Kindiedays Manager, so there really is something for everyone connected with early childhood education.
Kindiedays is made of...
1. Planning
- You can include a curriculum of your choice in the Kindiedays App (for example Finnish or EYFS) → makes planning much easier!
- Learning areas and learning objectives of the curriculum are inserted in the Kindiedays App → makes planning much easier!
- You can get ready-made Lesson Plans from Kindiedays that connect with the curriculum → makes planning much easier!
2. Pedagogical documentation
- Take a photo of a child participating in an activity/playing/climbing...
- Add learning area + learning objective(s) to the post
- Add your own notes, child's comments, or other info related to the learning moment
- Save and post on the child's profile
- Share with families in real-time and discuss the day upon pick-up time
- Collect all meaningful learning moments on the child's digital portfolio
3. Assessment
- Assessing and following every child's learning and development is efficient
- Managers and educators can get visible data on each child's or group's learning
- Takes planning, assessing, and teaching to the next level
Kindiedays strongly supports children's holistic learning. That is why points 1, 2, and 3 focus on children's learning only. Planning, pedagogical documentation, and assessment all play an important role in learning - all have their own vital part in it.
