After considerable investigation and a
highly successful trial, KU began rolling
out Storypark in 2015. Storypark creates a
secure private learning community for each
child. Teaching staff are able to record and
share observations, photos and video using
a camera, smartphone or tablet.
Most importantly, Storypark allows families
and centre staff to work collaboratively to
recognise and nurture each child’s unique
interests and abilities. It also enables
important people in the child’s life, who
may not otherwise visit a KU centre, to
remain connected and contribute, as one
KU parent explained.
“We have thoroughly enjoyed the
opportunity to use Storypark. The experience
has been particularly rewarding for us, as
my husband is currently on deployment
with the Australian Army. Having access to
Storypark has enabled him to feel connected
to Sophie’s experiences and development
at KU all the way from Afghanistan! We
thoroughly enjoy reading the stories, looking
at the photos and sharing comments.”
NURTURING THE FUTURE
Feedback from KU staff has also been
extremely positive, with educators reporting
they are building richer relationships with
children and their families, and more
responsive and relevant educational programs.
