childcare.tools is a form-based, AI-powered platform that assists Australian early childhood educators in generating comprehensive education programs, daily activities, and documentation. Our system considers children's voices, inclusion factors, additional needs, and theoretical underpinnings, allowing educators to complete programming requirements quickly while enhancing outcomes for children.

The platform also aids in writing daily diaries, special bulletins, and learning stories, ensuring professional, error-free communication with families and incorporating critical developmental theories.

childcare.tools forms are designed to take what would otherwise be hours' worth of work and compress it down into only minutes, significantly improving efficiency and allowing educators to spend more time with children. Tip: For long-response answers, we recommend using your device's dictate function to further speed up the process.

The documents produced can be easily copied and pasted, printed, or saved as PDFs for sharing with families. They will also remain stored in your 'My Docs' area for later use.

Yes, childcare.tools uses AI to quickly produce education programs and daily activities aligned with educational theories and frameworks. Educators can quickly input:

• Desired activity types (e.g., sensory, arts and crafts, music and movement, group time)
• Topics to explore
• Ages, goals, and needs of the children
• Relevant learning frameworks

The AI then produces a tailored learning program that accounts for each child's needs.

childcare.tools's learning stories feature helps educators document children's progress, incorporating developmental theories and skills. It provides suggestions for furthering children's learning and comments on their progression towards specific goals. childcare.tools also assists in following up on special events and projects, linking them to critical theory and learning outcomes.

While childcare.tools is designed to produce high-quality, relevant content, it's crucial for educators to review and potentially modify the generated material for several reasons:

• Professional responsibility: As an educator, you have the ultimate responsibility for the content you use and share. Reviewing ensures that the information aligns with your professional judgement and standards.
• Customization: Every child, group, and learning environment is unique. Reviewing allows you to tailor the content to your specific context and the individual needs of the children in your care.
• Accuracy: While AI is highly capable, it can occasionally make mistakes or misinterpretations. Your review ensures the accuracy of all information, especially regarding individual children or specific learning goals.
• Personal touch: Adding your own insights, observations, and style to the generated content makes it more authentic and personalized.
• Regulatory compliance: You can ensure that all content fully complies with local regulations and standards in early childhood education.
• Continuous improvement: Your feedback and adjustments help us improve childcare.tools over time, making it even more useful for you and other educators.

Remember, childcare.tools is a tool to assist and enhance your work, not replace your expertise and professional judgment. Your review and input are essential parts of the process.
