If you're a family daycare or a single centre, you can get Mana up and running yourself in a few straightforward steps. This guide walks you through everything from signing up to getting your educators started.

Create your Mana account at app.makemana.com. You'll need an email address and a few minutes to get your account set up.

Once you're in, select the plan that suits your centre. If you need to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any point, you can manage that yourself — no need to contact anyone.

How to manage your Mana subscription →

As the centre manager or nominated supervisor, you'll set Mana up at the centre level first. This includes uploading your centre resources so Mana has the context it needs to support your team well.

Activation guide for centre managers →

Once the centre is set up, each educator completes their own activation, setting up their profile, selecting their roles, and adding their teaching philosophy. This is what allows Mana to personalise the experience for them.

Activation guide for educators →

With everyone set up, your team is ready to begin documenting, planning, and tracking children's learning on Mana. This guide walks through how the individual cycle of planning works from start to finish.
