Every child tells you
what they need.
Root Skills helps you respond.

Built for Ontario ECEs and aligned to the ELECT framework — understand what you're seeing, plan around it, and document it in minutes.

Understand the behaviour

Log what you observe and Root Skills identifies the ELECT domain, what the behaviour means developmentally, and how to respond in the moment.

Plan around it automatically

Activities targeting each child’s specific needs are suggested for your weekly plan. One click adds them to the right day and learning area.

Document in minutes

Turn raw notes into formal ELECT-referenced observations ready for portfolios and licensing reviews. What used to take an hour takes two minutes.

New · AQI Readiness

Walk into your AQI visit already prepared.

Toronto's Assessment for Quality Improvement decides your centre's funding tier and your families' trust. Root Skills scores every category from the official 2025 rubrics, then tells you exactly what to fix — with documentation Grove can generate for you and coaching steps for what only your educators can change.

Score against the real rubrics. Infant, Toddler, Preschool and Outdoor — every category, with live coverage.
Improvement plan you can act on Monday. AI splits actions into "Grove generates", "checklist", and "educator practice" so nothing stalls.
Track progress between assessments. See your average score climb, category by category.
