Juniorlogs has over a decade of extensive experience.
As an ICT Specialist in NZ, we grew to understand the challenges that early learning services were going through in their daily operations. Whether it was data recording, analysis, or compliance with the Ministry of Education, or easier invoicing for fees, there was a genuine need for a modern, reliable and integrated Childcare Management System that would allow centre management teams to simplify a lot of their daily tasks.
The First Chapter
We set out to find the best solution resulting in collaborating with KidReports USA, which is now owned by ProCare Childcare Management Solution Provider. We worked alongside KidReports to offer New Zealand early learning centers a much more customised product that offered Real-time communication and Peace of mind by making life easier for everyone working in the ECE sector. We had robust followings and some diehard fans of KidReports, but unfortunately, the software didn’t take off due to two reasons. First, we had a prolonged adaptation from teachers who struggled to understand the benefits of adapting to new technologies. Second, we couldn’t justify the cost of further development and marketing at a slow adoption rate.
Our Toddler Years
We came across New Zealand Playcentre Federation while we were showcasing and demonstrating KidReports around 2016-2017. They used a paper-based system back then, and Childcare centers had only a few choices available to them between APT Childcare Management System, Infocare Childcare Management Solutions and Firstbase Student Management System. None of the software’s suited to New Zealand Playcentre Federation operational structure and they accepted our offer to deliver them a bespoke Student Management System that ticked off MOE Requirements for them and would also work with their organisational structure. It was a win-win combination for us both. We are very thankful to Playcentre Federation for their support during the Early Development Years of Juniorlogs Student Management Software. We have had the pleasure of working with over 400 Playcentres across New Zealand for three years.
Persistence reaps rewards!
With the determination to develop and deliver the best technology to NZ ECE Providers, we continued further development of the software. What started as a pilot project became a fully functional system with approval from the Ministry of Education around mid-2019. MOE has also approved Juniorlogs Student Management System for the use of Education and Care Centres and Homebased ECE Providers.
We were very lucky to have found initial ‘champion’ centres who understood new technology and were ready to give it a go; they invested their valuable time helping us bring it to a level where it has brought fresh new ways of doing mundane tasks. With their active engagement, we have achieved several milestones in the last 6 to 8 months, offering some premium features.
Our mission is to bring the best technology solutions to ECE Providers at an affordable pricing. The Juniorlogs team will listen to you actively. We are one of the fastest evolving childcare management systems in NZ today.
