Early Learning and Education

The childcare sector provides important support to families throughout Australia, and running an early learning centre is no easy task. The safety and security of children is paramount and a huge responsibility especially in this modern digital age. Luckily there are a number of information technology systems, networks, protocols and devices that can be implemented to support children and their carers so that they can focus on kids having fun and learning without extra procedures and protocols. In this blog we’ll examine the areas in which ICT and a team like Insite Cx can help early learning education.

Security

An obvious first one, but security for childcare centres has become an unfortunate and all too regular topic in the news. Because childcare centres are consistently handling sensitive data on everything from enrolments to health records and digital files of children – there is a huge threat of cyber security attacks. Ensuring that there are things in place like firewalls, multi-factor authentication for logins, best practice employee education and training, even VPNs and encryption – are really important to help negate the risk of cyber attacks. Insite can help with multi-site design and install, including network, security, carrier services, Wi-Fi and sign-in portals too.

Safety

Closely related to security is safety and there are a range of systems we can help set up to assist with child and childcare worker safety. Devices like security cameras with facial recognition technology, security doors and alarmed gates, mobile end point protection and even the ability to track educator to child ratios automatically can all be installed to assist with providing a safe environment. 

Digital Learning Technology

Interactive tools like boards and tablets have changed the way we can educate children but it’s important they’re safe and regulated. Digital learning technology including software and device integration, content filtering and mobile device management for iPads are all things that should be installed and managed by a professional ICT team who knows what they’re doing.

By having robust, reliable networks and communications systems as well as secure and safe technology in place ICT can help educators and childcare operators deliver better quality education and services. At Insite we’re proud to partner with a number of childcare facilities for their ICT needs.
