Features Overview¶
Learnify Childcare is a corporate e-learning platform designed for early childhood education centres in Singapore. It supports three distinct user roles, each with purpose-built features for professional development management.
Platform Highlights¶
Purpose-Built for Childcare¶
- Courses cover childcare-specific topics: CPR, child development, nutrition, regulatory compliance
- CPD (Continuing Professional Development) points tracking aligned with Singapore's ECDA requirements
- Organisation-based structure mirrors how childcare centres actually operate
- Fixed pricing model (SGD 60 per assignment) removes pricing complexity
SCORM-Compatible Progress Tracking¶
- Industry-standard SCORM 2.0 progress data stored per enrollment and per lecture
- Tracks lesson status, score, total time, suspend data, and lesson location
- Enables interoperability with existing LMS content and reporting standards
Corporate Assignment Workflow¶
- Corporate admins assign courses directly to learners (no self-enrollment marketplace)
- Deadlines ensure timely completion of mandatory training
- Assignment statuses track the full lifecycle: Assigned, In Progress, Completed, Overdue
- Optional Stripe billing per assignment for organisations with billing enabled

Data Flow¶
Learner -> Dashboard -> Assigned Courses -> Lecture Viewer -> Progress API -> SCORM Data Storage
Corporate Admin -> Org Dashboard -> Assign Course -> Learner + Deadline -> Monitor Progress
Super Admin -> Admin Dashboard -> Create Course -> Sections/Lectures -> Publish
-> Create Organisation -> Add Users
Security Features¶
- Secure authentication with NextAuth.js v5 (Credentials + OAuth providers)
- Role-based access control enforced at middleware, API, and component levels
- JWT session management with role claims
- Organisation-scoped data isolation (corporate admins only see their own centre's data)
- Secure database connections with SSL (Neon PostgreSQL)
- PCI-compliant payments via Stripe (when billing is enabled)

Unlike marketplace platforms with variable pricing, Learnify Childcare uses a straightforward corporate pricing model:
- Fixed price: SGD 60 per course assignment
- Billing is per-organisation: Each organisation can have billing enabled or disabled
- No billing required: Organisations without billing enabled can still assign courses (useful for pre-paid contracts or subsidised training)
- Stripe integration: When billing is enabled, a Stripe Checkout session is created for each assignment
