Sometimes doing everything in your early childhood role can be a struggle
Papwerwork
With all of the different forms and records needed to stay compliant, you can feel overwhelmed by what needs to be done and for who, not to mention the copying, filing and emailing! There has to be a simpler way...
Confusion
What to document, when, how and for whom, how often??? ACECQA requires certain standards but how much is too much - or not enough? They also say there is is no right or wrong way... so what do you do?
No Time
With all of the other duties in your role (activity prep, cleaning, talking to parents) let alone actually interacting with the children....or eating!, there is little time to complete the required documentation.
Butler Diaries takes the guesswork out of documentation
We provide busy Early Childhood Education and Care professionals with the resources needed to SUCCEED at EXCEEDING in your roles. We offer tried and trusted diaries, planners, journals and other educator resources to make your lives easier.

I love this products. Easy to use and beautifully presented which makes filling them out a pleasure. Delivery is always in a timely manner. Communication with the support team is spot on.
Love this book. It guides educators in showcasing the children's learning in clear and creative ways. It brought back the passion for programming and learning I used to have. So easy to use too
Absolutely love these diaries.. The new addition of the extension box on the page is fantastic. Would love to see some critical reflection prompts added to next years diaries though :)
