Marks that Matter
Mark-making is the creation of different lines, dots, patterns, textures and shapes. It is the first step in a child’s development toward learning to write. On episode #84 of The Everything ECE Podcast, host, Carla Ward, takes you through the benefits of mark making, why it can’t be skipped and go straight to writing letters and how to support mark making in the classroom.

Famly is an Early Childhood Platform that gives all the adults involved in a child’s early life a place to connect, learn, and handle admin together.
First built in Denmark in 2013, the platform is designed to help different grown-ups who care for young children either to collaborate or to take work out of their hands.
This means more information is shared between the families, early education providers, and all people involved in a child’s life so that everyone gets a better understanding of how to help them thrive. And on top of that, we help to save more educator time for the stuff that matters, and help providers grow their businesses. That is how we help to give every child the best start to life.
All in all, Famly supports 6300+ early education providers in 10 countries (primarily: UK, Nordics, Germany, US) to build relationships with more than 430,000 parents.
