“ClassDojo is the best thing for parents and children.”

App Store review

Head Start programs run on ClassDojo

Share photos, daily updates, and announcements with every family in their own language, from one free platform your staff can learn in a day.

“For us as an Early Childhood Center, the communication piece has just been unmatched — especially for our infants and toddlers, where parents just want pictures of their kids and a way to communicate with teachers. The fact that ClassDojo is free means we can actually make it happen.”

Family engagement, documented as it happens

Early childhood is full of firsts, but families can't always be there to see them. Most days, they're waiting until pickup to hear how their child is doing. Meanwhile, your staff is juggling updates, questions, forms, and messages in different languages. ClassDojo brings it all into one simple place.

Love that!

Everything your program needs to keep families close

Messages in every family's language

Send updates, photos, and reminders in seconds, with automatic translation into 190+ languages so every family in your program stays connected.

Daily documentation without the paper

Log meals, naps, activities and notes in seconds, time-stamped for each child. Families get updates right on their phone, and staff report saving hours each week on paper daily sheets.

Photos and videos, off personal phones

Give families a window into the little moments, big milestones, and everyday magic they won't want to miss. Photos stay in ClassDojo, not on a teacher's personal phone or in a Facebook group.

Oversight across every center you run

Program directors can manage every center from a single account, send announcements that reach all families, and see a real-time feed of updates from across all sites.

Your families already have the app

Millions of parents already use ClassDojo with their older children's schools. Connecting them to your program takes minutes, with no new app to download and no accounts to chase.

Simple for staff, even with turnover

New staff are up and running the same day — no training, no IT. When someone leaves, the next person picks up right where they left off.

Home visits, events, and sign-ups

Schedule home visits, family meetings, and policy council nights with sign-up and volunteer slots. Families get reminders, and events sync to Google Calendar.

Attendance in one tap

Check children in and out each day, with one-click check-in and built-in reporting when you need the numbers.

Free accounts for your whole team

Unlimited free staff accounts, with permissions and roles you control, plus staff messaging that reaches across centers.
