Share each day with confidence - simple, consistent stories families will love.
In Early Learning Services, families value meaningful insight into their children's day.
But finding time to create engaging daily or weekly stories alongside programming, documentation, routines, and everything else educators manage can be difficult.
The Daily & Weekly Story Canva Templates from Butler Diaries are a practical collection of ready-to-edit templates designed to help educators quickly create professional stories that showcase children's experiences, learning, and everyday moments.
With simple drag-and-drop editing in Canva, you can add your own photos, personalise the text, and share beautiful stories with families in just minutes.
If you already use our Printer Pack, you can copy and paste stickers from the pack into this Canva template too.
Whether your service documents learning daily or creates a weekly wrap-up, there's a template designed to suit the way your team works.

Why Educators Love These Templates
Educators love these templates because they remove the design work from daily communication.
Instead of creating a new layout every week or spending valuable programming time formatting documents, you can simply update the text, drag in your photos, and have a polished story ready to share.
They're flexible enough to suit a wide range of services while remaining quick, consistent, and easy for every educator on the team to use.
Most importantly, they help keep families connected to children's everyday experiences without creating unnecessary administration.
