Kindiedays Pedagogical Management Solution for early education

Kindiedays supports the formative assessment of children’s individual learning paths in early education. Educators plan, implement and follow children’s individual learning efficiently. Learning moments can be connected to preinstalled pedagogical objectives of the Finnish or other curriculum of their choice. Families are engaged via e-portfolios. Automatic reports about children’s learning can be exported. Managers follow and develop the learning in the whole center based on data and guarantee that the pedagogy provided is of the highest quality.

Kindiedays helps educators, families and children collaborate in all daily activities related to the learning and wellbeing of the children.

Learning Goals

The pedagogical analysis covers how the product supports learning of the identified skills. The student’s role is assessed by four contrary pair parameters, which are selected to cover the most essential aspects on the use of the product.

Passive
Active
Kindiedays adapts to the kindergarten's needs (choice of curriculum, chance to add menus, etc.). There are plenty of tools for pedagogical documentation so, depending on the teacher's own activity, children's engagement to activities they do in the kindergarten does not go unnoticed. Rather, it is documented and communicated in several occasions to relevant people in a child's life.
Rehearse
Construct
The experience on using Kindiedays is very personalized, depending on the child's needs and agreements with the guardians. It encourages teachers to share and communicate with guardians, which helps in identifying the strengths and development points for the child. The data from pedagogical documentation tells the guardians, what the children have learned, and guides in reflecting their progression.
Linear
Non-linear/Creative
The teacher can choose how to proceed and choose among the objectives in the curriculum. It is possible to create evidence that is individual for each child, and that way make learning visible for everyone.
Individual
Collaborative
Kindiedays allows rich social interaction through digital channels as part of the early learning experience. The child's portfolio is created and shared with parents, who can then discuss the events in Kindergarten with the child.
