Does your team ever miss important messages or feel a little out of the loop? The Team Communication Diary is a simple, practical tool to keep everyone informed, aligned and confident about what’s happening across your service.
Why this diary was created
-
Developed after years of relying on scrappy notebooks and ad-hoc notes that made it hard to track key information and follow-through.
-
Designed specifically for early childhood services, where clear, consistent communication directly impacts children, families and team culture.
Clean, purposeful layout
-
A clear, uncluttered layout draws the eye to what matters most, such as medical information about children and important messages from families.
-
Dedicated sections support quick scanning at shift change, handover times and staff meetings, reducing misunderstandings and repeated conversations.
- Sections include: Staffing arrangements/changes, General Notes, Children with Medication, Information from families, Information for families, gratitude and appreciation, educational leader messages, special events/news/community info, acknowledgement from staff
Flexible digital format
-
Supplied as a digital PDF so your service can print the pages you need and file them in a folder in the staff room or office for easy access by all educators.
-
Pages are undated, giving you flexibility to use them in a way that suits your team rhythm.
How services use it
-
Many services across Australia have used the Team Communication Diary over recent years to streamline handovers, record critical information and strengthen team communication.
-
The 2026 edition continues this support, helping your team reduce gaps in communication and maintain a shared, written record of what everyone needs to know.
