So why choose One Child over Storypark?

Here are a couple of things that we think sets us apart from Storypark.

Pricing

We think that our pricing is the least complicated and represents great value for all child care providers. See our pricing for your centre.

Our paid plan gives full access to our entire suite of tools and is an uncomplicated flat rate. This makes it simple for a centre to know what their cost is up front. Storypark charges from $0.99 to $1.29 per active child per month which can become quite costly and difficult to calculate.

Example*: A small centre with 75 active enrollments could save more than $350 annually by using oneChild.

N.B. Active children include all children who use your service not just the maximum licensed number.
* calculated on $0.99 per active child per month as outlined on the Storypark website. This comparison example does not include any discounts or pricing structures not advertised by Storypark on their website.

Educational Threads™

One Child has a unique system we call Threads™, which enables educators to link observations\learning stories to planning and then see a visual representation of the learning progression in the current observation.
Threads™ also provides a convenient way to navigate between linked documents which can be particularly useful during centre reviews or assessment and ratings.

Templates

Saving time and reducing the workload of educators in relation to documentation was the inspiration for our templating feature. Templates enable educators to create a planned activity and save it as a template to share and reuse throughout your centre, time and time again.
It is a great way to reduce duplication of data entry and enable an educator to create a documented planned activity, in a fraction of the time it would take to create a new plan.
