Role workflow · Floor-level · assigned room only

Educator

On the floor with children. The system stays out of the way until it's needed — then it's two taps, in context, never off-floor.

Design principleCapture in seconds. Document never twice.
On sign-in

What appears first.

The opening surface is shaped to what this role actually does — never a feed of everything happening in the centre.

Opening view
  • 01
    Today, my room
    Children present, ratios, key notes. Nothing from other rooms.
  • 02
    Allergy banner
    Always visible while in a room with a child who has dietary or medical flags.
  • 03
    Open loops
    Unfinished items from yesterday's handover, surfaced gently — not as a backlog.
  • 04
    One next action
    The single most useful thing to do right now (e.g. lunch handover in 8 min).
Notifications that matter
  • Allergy alert: lunch plan does not match dietary record

Daily rhythm

The shape of one operational day.

Tasks arrive in time, in context, and within scope. No off-floor catch-up is required.

Operational scope

What this role owns. What it doesn't.

Action priorities
  • 01Children, then capture. Never the reverse.
  • 02Quick observations rather than long ones at the end of day.
  • 03Witness, don't write — let the system handle the form.
  • 04Two-tap incidents, calm language, no blame framing.
Responsibilities
  • Floor presence and ratios
  • Observations on assigned children
  • Cleaning & safety checks for the room
  • First incident response and witnessing
  • Curated daily moment for parents
