Educator Diaries by Butler Diaries

Your practice, your rhythm, your way.

Every educator brings a different approach to the day — and your diary should match that.

Whether you plan in detail or document more spontaneously, our Educator Diaries help you record your thinking, track children’s learning, and stay connected to your goals.

Created by educators, for educators, they feature:


  • Flexible daily and weekly planning spreads to suit your group structure and hours

  • Prompts for critical reflection and goal tracking

  • Spaces for family communication and documentation of children’s voices

  • EYLF v2.0 alignment across principles, practices, and outcomes

These diaries are made to evolve with you. Some educators colour-code outcomes, add stickers, or draw directly in their pages. Others keep it minimal with key notes and reflections. However you approach it, your diary becomes your professional story — written your way.

When your diary feels like a natural part of your day, consistency becomes effortless.

Explore the Educator Diaries collection and find your perfect fit.

2026 Central Outdoor Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary - Hard Cover Spiral Bound
Butlers Diaries

I've been purchasing Program and reflection diaries from Butlers for many years, and I wouldn't purchase them from anywhere else. They have everything you need to do a complete program. The new column on the end "Extension experiences etc is a great addition. The jotters notebok is a good size for carrying arund through out the day, to make notes, write ideas and write brief observations.

Best Reflection Diary Ever!

This book is the best and most simple diary to follow to do my reflecting on everything. So pleased to be able to use it.

Rachel Patchett
2024 6 Month Weekly Programming and Reflection Child Educator Diary
Best thing ever

The Exceeding Guidance for the National Quality Standard: Evidence Summary is a really great book for centres that repeat on one standards instead of exploring others to make the childcare place a better place for children. The resources in this book are a really big help in order to meet our standards.
