The practical relevance of the project aims to increase the efficiency of all components of the preschool educational institution. The analytical part of the platform helps create a psychological profile of a child, that forms the basis for the preschooler’s individual development pathway, and becomes that principal defining factor, which will help the institution to establish and build interaction and communication between family and school.
“Smart School Pro, an innovative digital platform for preschools” is a relevant, valuable, and necessary project for modern educational practice. It offers a contemporary approach based on digital technologies to solve many tasks faced by preschools; it will undoubtedly improve the quality of preschool educational services.

For a preschool psychologist to work, it is extremely important to have tools that would facilitate and speed up the formal part of the work: drawing up an examination protocol, keeping a record, and forming conclusions based on the test’s results. The presented module SSP “Testing” allows solving all these tasks.

In the world of digital technology, it is very important to keep up with the times, be relevant and competitive in the eyes of children and their parents. A convenient, practical, and easy-to-use platform will help to bring together all the main aspects of the lives of our children attending school, that will certainly structure the institution and bring it to a new level of quality of education services provided.

The platform is very interesting for both the preschool staff and parents. Everything is very logical and clear. Various tests supplied with visual and descriptive materials are collected and classified in the platform. It is convenient to have a complete preschooler’s testing report database to see the dynamics of their development.

We appreciate the opportunity to work on your platform! We would like to highlight a wide range of capabilities: from contracts to menu and testing. It is easy to fill in the data.

Every child is unique. And all children develop differently. Smart School Pro educational platform helps to develop every child. The platform contains a well-developed testing module that gives a complete conclusion report, and helps to create an individualized educational route for every child. The Smart School Pro mobile application has made the work more convenient. The platform consists of all the required sections where parents can get the info about their children’s activities. I like the fact that it is possible to communicate with each and every parent, giving them recommendations and advice concerning only their children. Thanks to this platform, paperwork has been significantly reduced, thereby releasing time to communicate with parents and my efficiency in working with children has been increased. I can immediately, when I am with a child, inform the parents about her or his progress or what we need to work on. I can give each child personal tasks. The Smart School Pro assists in effective online communication and makes the work of teachers and professionals much easier.

The best thing about Smart Pro School is that I can see what experts and teachers are working with my child. I think it’s great that parents can check the testing results of their child, thoughtfully consider in what field their child is quite good and what’s worth special attention. I can look at the menu, know how well my son has eaten and slept. I also get to know what activities were today, and I get to see what exciting events are happening in class and school. I like the way the feedback is organized – you can send an email with your questions and get a quick answer.

I have two children attending the “Ladushki” kindergarten. By means of the new digital platform Smart Pro School, all the information we need has become more accessible. Conveniently, there is a mobile application, there is nothing unnecessary, everything is clear, easy, and accessible. All the information about my children is at my fingertips, and now I can see at any time what my children are doing, how they are developing, and what they are eating. In my opinion, this is a modern and very successful way of interacting with parents.
Natalia Moshkova
Mother of Varvara (5 years old)
As a parent, I think that using the Smart School Pro helps our teachers to optimize their work with parents in informing us about the child’s life at kindergarten. In the evening, when I have free time, I can easily check how my child spent the day, what she was up to with the teachers, and what meals she ate.
I don’t always have an opportunity to talk to teachers directly about my child’s education, but now, I can read recommendations posted in the mail section by our teachers to solidify the learned lessons. I find it very convenient and useful. In general, it resembles the school e-diary that older children have, so I think that the use of this platform is modern and necessary for communication with parents.
