You can also add children in bulk via CSV. To find out how, see Adding children in bulk via CSV file.
Adding Children
- Go to the ‘children’ tab on the location/admin dashboard
- Click the 'add child' button.
- Enter the correct information for the child in the relevant boxes. Ensure you assign the child to a created class and that a teacher is assigned to the child so that they appear in their ‘My Children’ list.
- Click ‘save’ to add the child to the system.
- You’ll then land on the child’s profile page. This is where you can add parent users for this child, or you can add parents at a later stage, i.e. once the child’s Learning Journal is populated.
Editing Children
- Go to the ‘children’ tab on the location/admin dashboard.
- Click the ‘edit’ symbol next to the child you want to edit.
- Edit the relevant information.
- Click ‘save’ to update the child’s details on the system.
Deleting / Archiving Children
- Go to the ‘children’ tab on the location/admin dashboard.
- Click the ‘archive’ symbol next to the child you want to edit.
- The child will now be archived.
- Click View archived children at the bottom of the children list.
- Click the Restore icon next to the child you want to restore.
Please note - once a child is archived, parents will no longer have access to their Learning Journal.
Restoring archived children
To restore an archived child:
Archived children will be permanently deleted six months from the date they are archived.
Permanently deleting a child
You can permanently delete a child on this page by clicking the Delete icon next to the child you want to delete. Please note that once a child’s profile is deleted, it will not be recoverable.
Next Steps
If you are setting up Arc Pathway for the first time, you should now add parents to the created children.
Please note that when adding a parent to the system, once you finish adding in the parent’s details and click ‘create’, the parent will receive a welcome email and link to set their password on their account. We would advise Early Years Settings to ensure the child’s Learning Journal is ready for the parent to view before setting up their account.
