Overview

Early childhood care and development (ECCE) is a critical phase of cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Preschool teachers shape these experiences but often face challenges. Children may struggle with routines, show limited progress, or need extra support despite various teaching strategies.

Our client, a leading early childhood learning center in the USA, supports children from birth to age five. Their goal is to provide every child with a strong foundation for future success. To support teachers, they sought a mobile-first solution that would simplify lesson planning and track learning outcomes. This led to the development of an education app that empowers teachers and engages parents. This case study explores the app’s implementation and its impact on early education.

Key Challenges

The teachers at their early childhood learning and knowledge center grappled with multifaceted challenges in meeting the diverse learning needs of children. These challenges manifest in various forms, such as:

  • Struggle in tracking and addressing the varied learning needs of children who have issues with routines, lack expected progress, or require extensive support.
  • Lack of a structured yet adaptable approach to effectively address the individual needs of each child.
  • Lack of a systematic process to assess child progress and modify/personalize teaching strategies.
  • Need for a smart digital solution to gain insights and redefine teaching strategies specifically tailored to each child's unique needs.

Solution

We built a simple, easy-to-use Preschool Teacher App. The goal was to help them track each child’s learning without any hassle. The app’s mobile-first design makes it easy to use on the go, so teachers can focus more on teaching and less on tech. Here’s what the app offers:

  • Teach

    Teachers collaborate with the child's team to plan instructions and preschool lesson plans. They can input teaching methods, and materials used, and record videos for demonstration purposes. This stage encourages structured lesson planning of early childhood education topics with tailored instructions.

  • Assess

    Teachers collect data on the child's engagement, access, and learning progress. This data enables insights into whether the child comprehends early childhood learning concepts and if additional support beyond the curriculum is necessary.

  • Adjust

    Based on the assessment data, teachers, together with the child's team, analyze and make informed decisions. They assess if changes are required in teaching methods, instructional type, or amount, fostering a proactive approach to support early child development through customized learning paths.

Key Technical Implementations

Our dedicated development team strategically embedded a suite of technical implementations to deliver an optimally functional, secure, and user-centric experience for preschool teachers.
