Truly listen
Your educators fill out a short, confidential survey on their phone. Amélio takes care of confidentiality: respondents' identities are kept confidential and anonymous.
Amélio for childcare centres
When the team is doing well, little ones thrive.
You wonder how long your team can hold on, and who will still be here in September. Your educators, meanwhile, wonder if anyone notices how hard they work.

What you're living
“An educator won't be in this morning.”
The phone rings before opening. You juggle the ratios, again, and wonder how long the team can hold on.
What Amélio changes
You see exhaustion coming before it turns into absences: results by location and by group show where the team is running out of steam.

A story close to the heart
Childcare centres where every voice counts
“Our teams spend their days working directly with children and families. They don't always have the time or the means to communicate with us directly. So how can we make sure employees' voices are heard? The answer: Amélio.”Janice Brooks · Vice-President, People and Culture, The Learning Enrichment Foundation

Keep your team, and help it grow.
Quality early learning rests on every educator. A rushed annual review won't help her progress.

Amélio connects performance management to each team's engagement results.
Big or small
Adapted to your setting
All your locations at a glance
Compare your locations and spot the one that needs you before departures start piling up.
- Results by location, age group and role
- Recommendations for each supervisor
- An overall picture ready for your board of directors
Data to back up your decisions
Your budgets are tight, and so is your room to maneuver. Amélio shows you the levers that cost almost nothing and matter enormously to your team: recognition, communication, how work is organized.
- Priorities ranked by importance
- Concrete, low-cost action ideas
- Tracking over time to measure your progress
Become the place where people want to work
When you're competing with larger, subsidized centres, your best argument is your team culture. Amélio helps you measure it, improve it, then show it to candidates.
- Engagement measured continuously
- Peer-to-peer recognition
- Concrete arguments for your recruiting
Small setting, big trust
Even with a dozen educators, anonymity is protected: results are shown in groupings, never below the minimum response threshold.
- Quick setup, no technical expertise needed
- Human support included
- A plan that fits your size
Psychosocial risks are part of your obligations
Occupational health and safety requirements cover psychosocial risks such as work overload or lack of support. In Quebec, Law 27 requires childcare centres to identify and prevent them. The Amélio diagnostic shows where you stand and what to do about it.
Questions from childcare centre directors
Our budget is very limited. Is Amélio affordable for a childcare centre?
Yes. Plans adapt to the size of your setting. Check the Pricing page or let's talk: we'll help you choose what fits, nothing more.
I'm not very tech-savvy. Is it complicated?
No. If you can send an email, you can launch a survey. And you're not alone: our team supports you from the first survey all the way to the action plan.
Will our educators really respond?
Your educators complete the survey in a few minutes on their phone, by email, text message or a QR code posted in the staff room. Across our clients, average participation is over 85%.
We're a small centre with a single location. Is this for us?
Yes. Amélio serves small settings and large networks alike. Anonymity stays protected thanks to grouped results.
See the four other questions
We already run our own small survey. Why switch?
A homemade survey takes time to build, and your team knows the director might recognize who wrote what, so people often keep what they really think to themselves. With Amélio, anonymity is protected and the questions are ready to go. Above all, you get a concrete action plan and the coaching to carry it out, without spending your evenings on it.
How is confidentiality protected?
Respondents' identities are kept confidential and anonymous, and no results are shown below a minimum response threshold. Your educators can answer with complete honesty.
How do I present the results to my board of directors?
The report presents your strengths, your priorities and the recommended actions in a clear format, ready to share with your board and with your team.
Amélio measures engagement. What about our employees' performance?
Amélio also includes a performance management module: a skills-based growth path to help every educator grow, reviews and one-on-one meetings. Because it's connected to engagement results, the director evaluates each educator with the context of her team, rather than with an isolated score. See performance management.
Every educator who stays is a child who keeps a familiar face.
