Beacon
in developmentBeacon is the system of record for a preschool. Enrolment, attendance, fees and books, parent communication, and staff. It is built for a phone, because that is what an owner has in her hand.
beacon-phone- 01Enrolment, every child, every guardian, every place, one record.
- 02Attendance, check in and check out on a phone.
- 03Fees and books, invoices issued, payments recorded, the money side of the school kept straight.
- 04Parent communication, daily notes, class photo feeds and announcements.
- 05Staff, people, roles and permissions.
- 06Assessment, portfolios, a learning checklist the operator can customise, and reports parents can see.
- 07Many centres, one operator, many centres, one view.
beacon-deskWhy it is built this way
Curriculum lives inside the platform. A teacher opens Monday's lesson in the same place she takes attendance, and parents see it that afternoon.
beacon-recordsFor teachers
In most small preschools a teacher gets a photocopied plan and whatever the owner can teach her between classes. Here every teacher has the curriculum on her phone, in her language, and something that will answer her question at ten at night when she is worried about tomorrow. It trains her through her first term rather than expecting her to already know.
No photograph of a child is ever sent to an AI model.
Sign in now and Beacon is there the day it opens, with nothing more to do.
