The Educa alternative
Want to know how One Child stacks up against Educa? We’ve put together some compelling reasons why One Child could be the best option for you and a great alternative to Educa.
There is no argument that using an online digital documentation program is a great way to record all your centre’s program planning, observations and reflections. It is also a very convenient way to share some information with parents and build community while getting feedback to help extend your program.
Both Educa and One Child cover the above essentials. So why choose One Child over Educa?
Here are a couple of things that we think sets us apart from Educa.
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. Educa charges $1 per child per month which can become quite costly.
Example*: A small centre with 75 enrollments could save more than $350 annually by using One Child.
* calculated on $1 per enrolled child per month as outlined on the Educa website. This comparison example does not include any discounts or pricing structures not advertised by Educa 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.
