ClassDojo is a free, widely adopted classroom app built around points, class stories and messaging between teachers and families, with school-wide features layered on. Oyku takes a different position: no behaviour points, no open chat, and nothing reaches a parent without school approval. It is the per-child photo and video feed with consent enforcement, teacher recognition, consented social content, one-click reports and a printed yearly book — designed for schools that want visibility with control.
Oyku is adopted by the school, not by individual teachers. Every post is approved by an admin before any parent sees it.
Parents see their own child's moments. Group photos respect per-child consent automatically.
Oyku has no behaviour scoring and no free-form messaging — reactions and comments on your own child only. Less noise, less risk, no out-of-hours pressure on teachers.
Approved, consented moments become social content; tags and timestamps become one-click reports for PTMs, KHDA, ADEK, IB or CIS.
Each family receives a hardback of their child's year with real teacher captions.

A 20-minute call. A free pilot classroom. No card, no contract.
Because the school owns the channel: approval on every post, consent enforced automatically, no behaviour points, no open chat, one-click reports, a consented content library for admissions and a printed book for each family. Under $10 per student per month buys control and a parent experience most schools can't get from a free, teacher-led tool.
Faster, in most cases: photo, tap children, pick activity, post. Approval happens in the office in one tap.
Deliberately not. Parents react and comment on their own child's moments; announcements go out as posts. Schools keep their existing channels for two-way messaging.
A plain-English school photo consent policy template covering family-only sharing, public use, opt-outs, retention and third-party apps — with notes for COPPA, FERPA and GDPR.
How preschools, nurseries and international schools turn approved, consented classroom moments into a weekly admissions content engine for Instagram, Facebook and Google Business — safely.
Burnout and turnover are the sector's biggest problem. These teacher recognition ideas — most free, most daily — make early childhood educators feel seen by parents and leaders.
