Tobi SteinerPreschool Teacher, Kids Care Club , San Diego CAMy name is Tobi Steiner and I have been the Director at Kids’ Care Club Child Development Center, a NAEYC Accredited Center, for 17 years. My passion has always been to create a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children to develop in. I believe it is important for early childhood educators to stay current with updated teaching techniques, technology within the classroom, and academic based curriculums. I am always looking for ways to improve and enrich the quality of our program for the children, families, and teachers.
One of our school’s biggest successes has been the way in which we communicate with parents. Prior to using the Learning Genie program we provided descriptive dailies to share and highlight information with parents about their child each day. In 2013 we decided to be a pilot school for Learning Genie. I knew from the beginning that the company had great ideas to improve upon the procedures we already had in place. Not only did Learning Genie bring our dailies to life for families in real time, but also made it more efficient for teachers to track each child’s development through portfolios and observations. The program aids in bridging the gap between school and families by its ability to share pictures, media, and links for special moments that occur at school each day.

I have taught kindergarten and now I teach Jr. Kindergarten to children who are ages 4 and 5. Working with children is lifetime dream that I had as a child. I wanted children to grow and learn in a fun environment that they could go home and tell their families about.

My name is Cheryl and I have been a teacher since 1996. I have taught kindergarten and now I teach Jr. Kindergarten to children who are ages 4 and 5. Working with children is lifetime dream that I had as a child. I wanted children to grow and learn in a fun environment that they could go home and tell their families about. Communicating with the families can be a challenge if you don’t see them at the beginning or end of the day. The Learning Genie has helped to complete this task.When the Learning Genie was introduced to me, I was very excited about sharing with the parents what I was teaching to the children on a more personable level. One of the most valuable features that I used was taking photos of the children doing activities and being able to send the pictures electronically to the parents on a daily basis. The parents were very excited each day to receive their email and see what their child had learned. The parents would use information we provided on a daily basis and talk about what they learned at school. This was a great conversation starter. Most children would come home from school and ask their child what they learned at school today and most would say “nothing I just played”. With the daily information I found that the children showed what they learned at school sometimes teaching their parents some things.
