About us
Our aim is to empower childcare services by giving them everything they need to offer children the best education ever.
Why ChildDiary
High quality childcare provides important cognitive and emotional benefits for all children. The effects are specially relevant in children’s early years and benefits continue to be felt through school years and into adulthood.
As a result we created ChildDiary, to do everything we can to help childcare services focus on children’s education and well-being instead of being overwhelmed by the compliance paperwork required by regulations.
Furthermore, we believe in the importance of partnerships between childcare services and families and its positive impact on children’s learning outcomes. For this reason ChildDiary helps families and childcare services communicate in a way they could never have done before.
Who are we

Vanessa was born in Vila Franca de Xira and her grandfather’s rabbits were her first friends. Since then Vanessa never left preschool education and has been having fun teaching children and adults in Portugal, Africa and Ireland.
João was born in Torres Novas where he grew up surrounded by animals and new technologies. His passion for animals made him consider becoming a veterinary, but his passion for video games took over and that is why he is a software engineer nowadays.

Patrícia was born in Lisboa, ever since she was a little girl she said she wanted to be a kindergarten teacher when she grew up, but it was by the sea of Sesimbra that she found her passion for the art world!

A supporter of Education through Art, she explored different ways to achieve her goal already as an educator, and traveled to Iceland as an au pair to learn about new realities.
The use of technologies in pedagogy has proven to be an emerging theme, and now seeks to reconcile the best of these three worlds at ChildDiary.

Carolina was born and has always lived in Leiria, in a rural village surrounded by animals, so she loves the calm and tranquility of the countryside and being in contact with nature. Maybe this is why she wanted to be a marine biologist as a child, but at the same time, her passion for reading and communicating led her to get a degree in Communication and Media. Suddenly, what she wanted was to be a top-notch journalist, to share the truth with people and have the biggest scoops in journalism!
