Adding Development Diaries and Observations to Caerus

Adding Development Diaries and Observations to Caerus

Caerus has an observation function called Development Diaries. These have been designed in line with the Scottish Curriculum. You can add a Development Diary by going into a Child's Profile and then: Select the Actions button at the top right hand side of the page You can then select from the following:

Development Diary - in the Development Diary you can add a child's experiences, learning outcomes, progression pathways and next steps and save to draft for approval or publish. You can also upload photos and short videos. Once published this will be saved in the child's profile, the parent/carer will get a notification of a new entry and they will be able to view, comment and/or acknowledge the post.

Diary - the diary is more of a daily update. In here you can note Activiites, log meals, bottles, nappy changes, sleeps, etc and you can also upload photos and short videos. Once published this will be saved in the child's profile, the parent/carer will get a notification of a new entry and they will be able to view, comment and/or acknowledge the post.

New Milestone - you can add any wow moments or new milestones and upload a photo along with it. Once published this will be saved in the child's profile, the parent/carer will get a notification of a new entry and they will be able to view, comment and/or acknowledge the post.
