Inclusion comes from attitudes, structures and everyday practice. Digital tools can support this process, but they replace neither educational work nor the team's shared reflection.
The Index for Inclusion as a guide
The Index for Inclusion (German PDF) by Booth and Ainscow looks at inclusive cultures, structures and practices. It helps schools recognise barriers and shape their development together.
Make information accessible
In before- and after-school care, people in different roles have to work together. Reliable contacts, notes and pick-up details help staff support each child appropriately. Roles and permissions should be set up so that the necessary information is available and sensitive details stay protected.
moto organises information by child, site and task. Which role sees which data is decided during setup.
Support children who move around freely
Open play can give children real choices. For this, your team needs a good overview of rooms, activities and attendance. Depending on the site, care staff keep each child's status up to date in the app, optionally supported by NFC check-ins.
Whether NFC supports independence depends on the child, the process and your educational approach. The technology should therefore always be seen as a tool, not as a blanket solution.
Check for digital barriers too
Digital processes can create barriers of their own, for example through unclear language, missing devices or complicated access. The introduction should therefore take parents, your team and different situations of use into account.
Conclusion
Software does not create inclusive structures. But a platform that is set up to fit can help organise information, responsibilities and processes more reliably.
