What parents ask us

Usually more than it feels like, because the learning is spread across ordinary days and nobody lays it out side by side. The tool does that. The subjects we hold for your region sit on one screen, lit where your child has already shown something and quiet where nothing has been written down yet. If you like, an email each week or each month tells you in plain words what that stretch covered.

What counts as enough for your family stays your call. The difference is that you make it looking at the whole year, instead of from memory at the end of a hard week.

Then the answer is to look, and the tool lets you. It lays what your child has shown so far beside what your region's curriculum sets for their age, and over the months it points out what keeps coming back and what has gone quiet.

When something keeps being hard, name it in your own words. On a computer, the tool traces the earlier skills it rests on and shows which of those you have not yet seen, so you can start there. Nothing in it labels your child or decides anything for you.

Less than you think. One sentence about something that happened, or the photo you were going to take anyway, is a whole entry. You do not have to work out which subject it belongs to; the tool finds the learning in it and matches it to your region's curriculum where we hold it, and you confirm it.

You do not need to capture everything your child does. Capture what made you look twice, keep going for a few months, and the record fills in around it.

A sentence, a photo, or a few seconds of your voice while the moment is still happening. The matching, the sorting into subjects and the writing up are the tool's work, not yours.

If the evening suits you better, save the day's moments and add them after bedtime. They count the same.

A quiet subject means nothing has been written down there yet, and that is all it means. Children rarely move through subjects evenly, and a month spent deep in one thing often touches others you never thought to log.

Seeing the quiet ones is useful in its own way. It tells you where to look for learning you may have missed, or where to plan something when you are ready.

A question in the car, a batch of bread, a lesson you planned at the kitchen table: all of it is learning, and all of it goes in the record.

The curriculum where you live describes what children learn by a certain age. The tool looks at what your child actually learned, not whether the day looked like school, and shows you where your family's way of doing it meets what your region describes.

Yes. Yours is the family we built it for first. You do not need a curriculum, a schedule or anyone else's order of things. You write down what actually happened, in your own words, and the tool finds the learning in it. The curriculum where you live is used as a map to show where that learning lands, never as a pace your child has to keep.

Children who learn interest first rarely move evenly, and the record is built for that. A month deep in one passion shows up as exactly that, and the quiet subjects simply wait. Nothing in the tool labels your child, scores them or decides anything about them. Over the months it shows you what keeps coming back and how they learn, so you can tell a skill still being built from simply who they are. What you do with that stays your call.

It is built to do the opposite, and to put more of your attention on your child. A moment takes a sentence, a photo or a few seconds of your voice, and then the phone goes back in your pocket.

What changes is what you notice. Every time you notice something worth keeping, you are noticing your child, and seeing them in a way they may never have felt seen. You take responsibility for their growth and their education one ordinary day at a time, and along the way you build the confidence that you are the expert on your child. The tool just makes sure none of it is lost.

A Learning Record for each child: what they did, what it shows they learned, and the evidence behind it, with the date on every entry. Your own sentence is quoted as you wrote it, with the curriculum wording beside it, so whoever reads it sees your family in the terms they already use.

Pick a child and a period, whether a term, a year or everything since you began, and it becomes a document you can print or hand over. Keep going for a few years and it turns into something bigger: the story of how your child learned, told in your voice.

Yes, and for most families it is the easiest way in. Take the photo, or pick one you already have, add a line about what happened if you like, and the tool does the rest. A few seconds of your voice works the same way.

The picture you were going to take anyway becomes evidence in your child's record, instead of one more photo lost in the camera roll by June.

It does, and it counts the same. The lesson you sat down to teach, the workbook page, the trip you planned for weeks: all of it goes in, beside the question nobody saw coming.

The tool helps with the planned side too. Keep a plan of what you want to introduce over the quarter or the year, and if you like, get one idea each morning for each child, built from what they are already into. Families who plan every week and families who follow the child end up with the same kind of record.

Yes. Invite your partner and you share every child and one record, both of you adding to it, under one subscription. The photo one of you took at the park and the story the other heard at bedtime end up in the same place, instead of in a text thread nobody can find later.

You can also invite someone to just one child. You decide who is invited, and you can take that access back at any time.

No. The tool is for you, the parent. Your child never needs a login, an account or a screen, and gets on with their day while you notice.

That was deliberate. The point is more of your attention on them, and none of theirs on a device.

The tool covers every Canadian province and territory, all 50 US states and D.C., and England, with the curriculum we hold for each, and a plain note wherever we do not hold one yet. Where we hold your region's curriculum, your child's moments are matched to it.

Some of it is still being added. In Canada the curriculum runs from kindergarten to Grade 9, with a few subjects and grades still missing in some provinces. In the US, English, math, science and social studies are in for every state and D.C., mostly from kindergarten through Grade 8. Where a state publishes its own standards and we hold them, your child's moments are matched to that state's own: social studies in 23 states, science in 30, math in 17 and English in 14 so far. Elsewhere English and math are matched to the Common Core and science to the Next Generation Science Standards, which most of those states adopted or built their own standards on. In the states whose own social studies standards we have not added yet, social studies is matched to the national C3 Framework, and the record names it as national guidance, not your state's standard. Physical education is in for England and every Canadian province and territory, and for six US states so far. Wherever a subject is not in your region's own framework, the tool tells you so plainly instead of filling the gap with something else.

Whoever reviews your child's learning, whether that is a teacher, a learning consultant or an evaluator, needs to see what your child has been doing, and you are the one who saw it. The tool turns the moments you capture into a dated record matched to your region's curriculum where we hold it, with your own words as the evidence, ready when the check-in comes around.

What your school or program asks for, and in what form, is their decision. The first time, put the record beside what they have asked for, and send what fits.

It stays with you. The record belongs to your family, not to any school or program, so it carries on across schools and across years.

If you move to another province, state or country the tool covers, your child's history comes with you, matched to the new region's curriculum where we hold it, and nothing starts over.

No tool can promise that, and we will not pretend to. Each province, state and country sets its own rules, and whether a record meets them is decided by whoever reviews it.

What we do is publish a plain summary of what each region asks of families learning at home, on our requirements by region page, and give you a record built to be handed over. You read the rules, you decide what to send, and you stay the one in charge. None of it is legal advice.

You, and the people you invite. Nobody else is given access. We never sell a child's record, never share it with schools or government, and never use it as demo content.

The one exception would be a valid legal order such as a court order, and our Privacy Policy sets out exactly how we would handle that, including telling you when the law allows.

No. Every time you save a moment with words, the words of that note (and any voice transcript), your child's age and a list of possible topics are sent to Cloudflare Workers AI, an AI service run by Cloudflare, our service provider and the company that already hosts the app. It matches the moment to subjects and skills and notes whether it shows a skill or a struggle, and we may re-run this on moments you've already saved when we improve matching. This is required for the app to work. Cloudflare doesn't keep the content we send it or use it to train AI. We never sell it, use it for advertising, or let anyone train AI on it, and we don't disclose it to anyone except our service providers acting for us (like Cloudflare) or where the law requires. We keep only the result, the topics it matched, next to your note in your child's record, and you can delete a moment or your whole account at any time. Photos, recordings and the rest of your child's record are never sent, and nothing goes to AI companies such as OpenAI or Google. The text may be processed outside Canada, including in the United States, where it may be accessible to authorities under local law. When you type a question into Ask, that question and the earlier messages in that conversation are sent to Cloudflare Workers AI to answer it. No details about your child are added. Our Privacy Policy has the details.

One thing worth knowing: when you speak a moment instead of typing it, your phone's own dictation turns speech into text, and depending on your device settings that may go through Apple or Google. You can always type instead.

Both, whenever you choose. You can export your family's data from the tool at any time, voice recordings included, and keep your own copy.

Deleting a child or your whole account removes it from our live database straight away and from backups within 30 days. It is a true delete, and nothing is archived.

From age three to the end of elementary school. Start whenever your child is; the record simply begins where you do, and it keeps every year you add.

One subscription covers your whole household, however many children you add, and every plan starts with two weeks free for a new subscriber. Prices differ from country to country, so check the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android for the exact price where you live.

That is also where you subscribe and where you can cancel. There is no checkout on this website. Once you are in, you can also sign in on a computer and sit down with the whole record there.
