Overview
You can add, edit, remove, or assign children in Mana depending on your role and team settings.
Managers can control whether educators can manage children directly by toggling the Enable Key Educator Management setting in team settings.
Add a child
Go to the Journeys tab.
Click + Add Child in the top right.
Enter the child’s name and month of birth.
Click Add Child.
You’ll see the new child appear in your child list right away. No additional steps needed to get started.
Mana requests a date of birth from users to tailor age-appropriate activities, experiences, and developmental milestones for children. This information enables us to customise our offerings to align with each child's stage of development.
If you have privacy concerns, please take a moment to review our Privacy Policy on our website. We want to assure you that you have options regarding the information you share with us. You are not required to provide an accurate date of birth; instead, you can simply use the first day of the month in the year they were born, and you can choose to share only a first name if you prefer. Your privacy and comfort are important to us.
Assign or Unassign as Key Child
