Planning from evidence already captured
Instead of asking educators to complete another planning form, StoryLoop uses recent story summaries, next steps, outcomes, and educator observations as the starting point.
Centre planning
Turn learning stories into a weekly room planning conversation.
Room Planning Briefs help centre teams look across recent story evidence and decide what to notice, set up, ask families, and discuss next.
Start with what actually happened: one action, quote, attempt, change, or question. A polished observation is never required.
StoryLoop drafts and checks. The educator reviews, edits, decides what is true, and chooses whether anything is shared.
What StoryLoop does with a note
A rough note in, a learning story out.
A real note an educator typed, and the start of the draft StoryLoop wrote from it, unedited, with the Te Whāriki links, learning and next steps to follow.
Aroha tried to put her shoes on before going outside. Velcro kept folding over. Asked 'help me' then pushed my hand away and did the second one herself. Stood up and stomped both feet.
Putting on her own shoes
Before going outside, Aroha tried to put her shoes on by herself. The Velcro kept folding over, making the job trickier. Aroha asked, "help me", letting us know clearly that she needed support.
When help was offered, Aroha pushed the adult hand away and did the second shoe herself. Once both shoes were on, she stood up and stomped both feet. This looked like Aroha checking that her shoes were on and feeling the result with her whole body.
Now try it with your own note. No signup.
Type what you saw today. StoryLoop writes the draft here, with Te Whāriki or EYLF V2.0 links, and shows you exactly what it is built on.
No signup for your first try. Use a first name or initial only.
Your draft appears here, with curriculum links that only claim what your note shows, usually in under a minute.
Tip: what the child did, one thing they said, and what happened next. Three lines is plenty.

Practical team prompts
The brief can suggest emerging interests, environment setups, intentional teaching moves, family partnership prompts, and reflection questions for the next team conversation.
A support tool, not a full assessment
The brief should be reviewed and adapted by educators. It does not rank children, diagnose, or replace local curriculum judgement.
FAQ
Straight answers for directors.
Who is the Room Planning Brief for?+
It is designed for centre teams, room leaders, and educational leaders who want recent documentation to feed practical planning.
Which plan includes Room Planning Briefs?+
Room Planning Briefs are included on the Centre plan.
Does StoryLoop replace educator thinking?+
No. StoryLoop supports drafting and structure, while educators remain responsible for observation, interpretation, reflection, final editing, and sign-off.
Can I edit the generated stories?+
Yes. Stories are editable after generation and saved in history, so educators can add context, adjust wording, copy, export, or regenerate from the original observation.
Does it create generic AI stories?+
StoryLoop is designed to avoid generic, poetic AI wording. It asks for real observations, keeps claims evidence-based, and links curriculum only when the observation supports it.
How many stories are free?+
The free plan includes 3 learning stories per month. Upgrade prompts are dismissible, and existing history remains available even if the free limit is reached.
