Why teachers love it

Replace the paper file. Keep your hands free for the kids.

Every teacher knows the moment — a scraped knee, a snotty nose, a parent at the gate asking "did she eat today?" Huddles puts the answer one tap away.

Emergency-first

Every learner's parent and family contacts are one tap away. Tap to call, no scrolling, no fumbling with phones in a panic.

Medical vault

Allergies, medical aid details, member numbers — locked behind a reveal step so sensitive info only shows when it's needed.

Logged. Forever.

Every incident, dose, and nappy change is timestamped with the staff member who logged it. Full audit trail, no lost notebooks.

What's inside

Daily logging, beautifully boring.

Daily logs

Incidents, medicine & general notes — logged in seconds.

Tap a learner card. Tap an icon. Fill the form. Save. That's it. No menus to dig through, no separate apps, no end-of-day catch-up.

  • Incident logs with location, time, witness & action taken
  • Medicine logs with dose, time given & staff member
  • General communication notes for parent updates
  • Edit history kept on every entry, nothing disappears

For tinies

Bottles, nappies, meals & naps — tracked all day.

For the babies and toddlers, parents want details. Huddles tracks every wet, every dirty, every bottle, every plate and every nap — so when mom asks "did she eat today?" at pickup, you have the answer ready.

  • Wet / dirty toggle with one tap
  • Bottle volumes and times
  • Meal logs — what was served and how it went down
  • Nap times, so bedtime at home makes sense
  • Each school switches on only the logs it needs

When it matters most

The emergency profile every teacher wishes they had.

One screen. Every contact, every allergy, every medical aid number a paramedic might ask for. Locked behind a reveal so sensitive info isn't in plain sight.

  • Tap-to-call parent and family contacts
  • Allergies highlighted in plain view
  • Medical aid vault — provider, plan, member ID
  • Full learner history: attendance, incidents, medicine, notes

Daily programme

Activities logged once — recorded for every child.

Plan the day's activity, tick it off against the register, and it lands on the profile of every learner who took part. Each school gets a form shaped to its own programme — Montessori areas for one school, your own fields for the next.

  • Activity templates tailored to your school's curriculum
  • Log once for the class — every present learner gets the record
  • Attendance-aware, so absent little ones are never ticked by mistake
  • On the child's profile for parents, exportable as PDF

No signal? No problem

Load-shedding proof. Works offline, syncs itself.

Huddles is built for real days — no Wi-Fi, no signal, no problem. The app still opens, attendance and logs keep working, and everything syncs itself the moment the connection returns.

  • Opens and works with no internet at all
  • Entries queue safely and sync when you're back online
  • Installs from the browser — no app store, nothing to update
  • One home-screen icon on any phone, iPhone or Android

Roles & access

The right info. For the right person.

Huddles respects boundaries. Teachers see their class. Principals see the school. Parents see their child — and only their child. Every school's data is isolated, and idle devices sign themselves out.

School-wide oversight. Manage staff access, view every class, export records for any learner, audit logs across the school.

Parents

A read-only window into their own child's day. Meals, naps, nappies, activities, incidents — their child and only their child, on their own phone. The peace of mind every parent wants at 3pm.

Compliance, sorted

Bana Pele ready. ECD compliant. PDF exportable.

South African ECD centres are held to a high standard for record-keeping — and rightly so. Huddles helps you meet that bar without doubling your admin.

1

Bana Pele alignment

Every learner's emergency contacts, medical info, and daily care logs are kept in one place — exactly the kind of record-keeping the Bana Pele drive promotes.

2

ECD record-keeping

Attendance registers, medicine administration logs, incident reports and daily activity records — automatically timestamped, attributed to staff, and never lost.
