Montessori schools run on ClassDojo

ClassDojo is the best thing for parents and children.

Let families see the work

The early years are full of firsts, but families can't always be there to see them. Most days, they're waiting until pickup to hear how their child is doing. Meanwhile, your guides are juggling updates, questions, forms, and messages in different languages. ClassDojo brings it all into one simple place.

Emre's been a great helper! He even stayed after today to help clean up.

Love that!

Every day is full of moments worth sharing

Everything your school needs to keep families close

Photos and videos in one private place

Share a child deep in concentration with a material, or a first successful pour. Photos stay in ClassDojo, not on a guide's personal phone or in a Facebook group.

Track milestones, not just behavior

Record observations, practical life work, meals, and rest in seconds, time-stamped for each child. Families get a real picture of how their child is developing.

Messages in every family's language

Send updates, photos, and reminders in seconds, with automatic translation into 190+ languages so every family can follow along.

Your families already have the app

Millions of parents already use ClassDojo with their older children's schools. Connecting them to your school takes minutes, with no new app to download and no accounts to chase.

Simple for guides, even with turnover

New staff are up and running the same day — no training, no IT. When someone leaves, the next person picks up right where they left off.

Events, sign-ups, and reminders

Set up classroom observations, parent education evenings, and school celebrations with sign-up and volunteer slots. Families get reminders, and events sync to Google Calendar.

Attendance in one tap

Check children in and out each day, with one-click check-in and built-in reporting when you need it.

Free accounts for every guide

Unlimited free staff accounts, with permissions and roles you control, plus staff messaging to keep every classroom connected.

Top of the class for privacy

We put privacy and trust first. We never share students’ information with advertisers, and we use the latest and best security practices to keep you safe at all times.
