Kindred is an AI-powered documentation assistant built by educators, for educators. Press your collar mic, speak for 30 seconds, release. Get a fully compliant draft ready for review.
The documentation demands of NQF compliance have created an unsustainable burden. Educators are burning out not from the children—but from the paperwork.
Learning stories, observations, reflections, forward planning. The paperwork never ends—and the goalposts keep moving with EYLF v2.0 requirements.
Finish work at 5pm. Do paperwork until 6pm. The work follows you home because there's never enough time during the day.
A&R visits loom. Is the documentation good enough? Are the EYLF links correct? The cognitive load is exhausting.
Speak what you saw. Kindred transforms your observations into professional, NQS-compliant documentation—ready for your review.
"So Mia's been at the blocks for like twenty minutes now, she's super focused, keeps trying to balance them differently and when it falls she just goes 'again!' and rebuilds straight away, um she's counting them each time, got to twelve I think, and she just asked Liam to help find the biggest one for the bottom which was really sweet"
Mia's Mathematical Discovery Through Construction
Mia demonstrated sustained engagement and persistence during construction play today. Over a twenty-minute period, she explored concepts of balance, stability, and spatial awareness through block building.
When her initial tower collapsed, Mia showed resilience by immediately recommencing—exclaiming "again!" with determination. She employed mathematical thinking by counting blocks sequentially to twelve, and demonstrated emerging understanding of foundations by requesting "the biggest one for the bottom."
Notably, Mia sought collaboration with Liam, showing social skills and the ability to identify peer support for her learning goals.

20-second walkthrough of the core workflow. This is just a concept, not the final output.
Every feature exists to give you time back. Nothing more, nothing less.
Lightweight collar microphones designed for the classroom. Press the button, speak your observation in a continuous flow, press again to finish. No phone fumbling. No stepping away. Each educator wears their own mic—record observations without interrupting each other.
Core FeatureEvery educator in the room has their own collar mic synced to the app. Sarah can record an observation about Mia while James records one about Leo—simultaneously, without interference. Each recording is tagged to the right educator automatically.
Core FeatureYour fast, casual voice note becomes a structured learning story with objective language, developmental observations, and proper pedagogical terminology. The AI removes filler words, organises your thoughts, and maintains the authentic details you captured.
Core FeatureNot just keyword matching. Our AI understands the nuance of each outcome and principle—including the new v2.0 requirements around Aboriginal perspectives, sustainability, and collaborative learning. Accurate framework links with clear rationale.
Core FeaturePress. Speak. Release. That's it. In the time it takes to mentally note an observation, you've captured it permanently. No typing, no touchscreens, no breaking eye contact with the children. Documentation happens in the flow of teaching.
Core FeatureEvery centre has its own philosophy. Every educator has their own style. Kindred adapts to match your terminology, your centre's values, and the way you naturally express observations. The more you use it, the more it sounds like you.
Coming SoonBuild rich, longitudinal profiles for each child. Track developmental progress across all EYLF outcomes over time. See patterns, identify focus areas, and create continuity of learning that impresses during A&R visits.
Coming SoonSee at a glance which children need attention, which EYLF outcomes are underrepresented, and where documentation gaps exist—before your assessor finds them. Proactive compliance, not reactive panic.
Coming SoonBeautiful PDF exports ready for portfolios and family sharing. Coming soon: direct integration with Storypark, OWNA, and Xplor. We complement your existing tools—no need to switch everything at once.
PlannedI'm an Early Childhood Educator on the Gold Coast, currently completing my studies in Early Childcare. Every day, I see talented colleagues burning out—not because of the children, but because of the paperwork that follows them home.
"We became educators to make a difference in children's lives. Not to spend our evenings writing documentation instead of being with our own families."
Kindred isn't built by a tech company guessing what educators need. It's built by someone who knows the 5pm car park documentation sessions. The A&R anxiety. The joy that gets buried under compliance pressure.
This is documentation that finally works with you.
We know you're cautious about AI and voice technology in childcare settings. Here's exactly how Kindred handles your data.
Your voice recording is converted to text instantly, then deleted. We never keep audio files. Only the text transcript remains—and you control that.
All processing and storage happens on Australian servers. Your centre's data never leaves the country. We're building to meet APP compliance from the start.
AI generates drafts. You approve, edit, or reject them. Nothing is ever published without an educator clicking "approve." The AI assists—you decide.
We don't use your observations to train AI models. We don't sell data. We don't share with third parties. Your documentation belongs to your centre, period.
