for program leadership

for preschool directors and ece coordinators

a quiet hub the teachers in your program can open on any device, one device, no install, no training day. this page answers what an administrator usually asks before forwarding it: what teachers use, what stays with the teacher, and what is required from the program.

built for the teacher first. nothing here adds a step to a classroom that is already full.

what teachers actually use

asq-3 and asq:se-2 prompts for the right age window, with language a family can read. drdp-2025 cheat sheets for the measures most teachers rate each week. deca strengths language for the social-emotional side. iep and 504 friendly write ups for the children who have a plan.

the daily side is what saves the teacher's evening: a one minute end of day handoff, a structured incident log, a conference write up that a tired teacher can finish in fifteen minutes instead of two hours.

what stays with the teacher

a teacher signs in with an email address. that is what the site needs to hold their writing between sessions.

if a teacher builds a class list, the site holds first names, an optional date of birth, home languages, allergies, and family contact names the teacher chooses to add. that class list also powers a one-tap daily attendance mark, so the teacher can see who is here today without opening a second system.

drafts a teacher writes (conference notes, incident summaries, handoffs) live against that teacher's account so they can come back and finish them. the saved page lists everything the teacher has written; delete removes it.

the program is the data controller for anything a teacher chooses to enter. tiny signals is the writing helper alongside it; teacher writing is not shared with families, with funders, or with third parties.

what tiny signals leaves to your other tools

tiny signals is a writing helper with a lightweight class list and a daily attendance mark for the teacher. procare, brightwheel, childplus, copa, and state reporting tools still own parent billing, medication logs, licensing audit trails, and formal reporting.

drdp ratings, asq scores, and deca strengths live where they already do in the program; the site provides the writing language around them.

it sits next to whatever the program already uses and handles the writing helper, the part nobody else does well.

what the program pays, what the program signs

no per-seat license. no district contract is required for a teacher to open the site and try it. there is no procurement step a director has to clear before a classroom can use it for a week.

if a program later wants a shared classroom across co-teachers or a substitute, the site supports that with an invite link or a join code. that is a teacher-driven action; it does not require an administrator account.

how an honest pilot works

forward this page to one teacher in the program. ask them to use it for a week on whatever they would normally write that week, a conference, an incident, a handoff, an asq summary.

at the end of the week, ask the teacher one question: did this give back any time. if the answer is yes, share it with the rest of the program. if the answer is no, nothing was lost; the teacher closes the tab.

what teachers actually open

these are the pages a classroom teacher reaches for on a normal week. nothing here is behind a paywall, a sales call, or a demo request.

  • today, the one screen a teacher checks first
  • write up, conference and progress notes, fifteen minutes
  • incident, structured, calm, ready for a family conversation
  • assessment, asq, drdp, deca prompts and language
  • handoff, one minute end of day note to families
  • privacy, the full data handling page for the program

programs that share this stack

the same writing helpers fit these classrooms too. if the page you are on is not quite the room, one of these might be.

forward this to a teacher

the fastest way to know if tiny signals fits a classroom is to put it in the hands of the teacher in that classroom. the button below opens a blank email with a short note already written, so it takes one click to send.
