Task management, simplified
Manage, oversee and communicate all tasks whilst enhancing efficiency and collaboration in your early childhood service.
The right task, to the right person, at the right time
When work lives in someone's head or an inbox, things slip. The Task module gives every job an owner, a priority and a deadline — so your team can focus on delivering high-quality care and education, not chasing loose ends.
Prioritisation and scheduling
Clearly define task priorities and schedules, helping staff manage their time efficiently and focus on delivering high-quality care and education.
Assignment and categories
Ensure the right person is notified of the outstanding task, and categorise tasks by department, room or type — meetings, calls and more — to increase efficiency.
Effortlessly manage tasks across multiple locations
The Task module is designed for organisations operating across multiple sites and departments. Stay organised and ensure that every team member is aligned with shared goals and deadlines.
Streamline your operations with comprehensive task management
Task visualisation options
Choose between traditional list formats or visual Kanban boards to organise tasks in a way that suits your team's workflow. This flexibility accommodates different preferences and can make task management more intuitive.
Collaborative task management
Assign tasks to team members, set deadlines, and monitor progress collectively. Create a collaborative environment where responsibilities are clear, and team members can support each other effectively.
Streamlined administrative processes
Automate and organise routine tasks, reducing the administrative burden on staff. This allows educators to dedicate more time to engaging with children and enhancing educational outcomes.
Improved communication
Maintain all task-related information in one accessible location, ensuring that all team members are informed and can communicate effectively regarding ongoing responsibilities.

Most services run on a whiteboard, a few post-it notes and someone's memory. It works until that person is on leave, or the note gets lost or nobody sees it. The Task module gives every job an owner, a due date and one place the whole team can see - so you know what's outstanding, what's overdue and who it sits with, without having to talk to someone to find out.
More than compliance work. Facility maintenance and repairs, marketing and enrolment activity, meetings and calls, reminders to purchase nappies etc, categorised so it works for your service and organisation. You could use it for HR tasks e.g., onboarding: a new educator's first fortnight laid out as a sequence of tasks, so it runs the same way every time instead of living in the Director's head.
