What Are Milestones?
Milestones are specific, observable developmental checkpoints that indicate a child is progressing as expected within a given age range and curriculum framework. In Fleedu, milestones are organized into development areas — broad categories that reflect the domains recognized by early childhood education research and, where applicable, Indonesia’s national curriculum standards.Common Milestone Categories in Fleedu

Log a Milestone Observation
Open Milestone Tracking
From the main navigation menu, tap Activities, then select Milestones. You’ll see the milestone dashboard, which shows recent observations and a list of students.
Select a student
Tap the student you want to log an observation for. This opens their individual milestone profile, showing all development areas and the milestones within each.
Choose a development area and milestone
Scroll to the relevant development area and locate the specific milestone you observed. Tap the milestone to open the observation form.
Set the achievement level
Fleedu uses a three-level scale for each milestone observation:
Select the level that best reflects what you observed.
| Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Emerging | The child is beginning to show this behavior with significant adult support. |
| Developing | The child demonstrates this behavior sometimes, with occasional prompting. |
| Achieved | The child consistently demonstrates this behavior independently. |
Add observation notes
Type a brief description of exactly what you observed. Be specific and objective — describe the behavior, not your interpretation of it. For example:
- ✅ “Aisha sorted 12 colored blocks into four groups by color without prompting, then re-sorted them by size when asked.”
- ❌ “Aisha is good at sorting.”
Attach supporting evidence
Tap the camera or gallery icon to attach a photo or short video clip of the observed behavior. Visual evidence is especially valuable for portfolios and parent-facing reports. You can attach more than one photo per observation.
Photo and video evidence is stored securely and is only accessible to teachers in your school and the parents of the specific child shown. It is never shared with third parties or visible to parents of other children.
Customizing Milestones to Match Your Curriculum
Your school’s administrator can fully customize the milestone library from the School Settings panel. This includes:- Adding new milestones within any development area.
- Creating entirely new development areas.
- Editing the wording of default milestones to match your curriculum’s language.
- Archiving milestones that are no longer relevant to your program.
- Aligning milestones with specific age bands (e.g., 3–4 years, 4–5 years, 5–6 years).
Schools using Kurikulum Merdeka can configure milestones to map directly to the official Capaian Pembelajaran PAUD learning outcomes. Schools using other frameworks — including Montessori, Reggio Emilia-inspired, or proprietary curricula — can build their own milestone sets from scratch. Contact your Fleedu implementation specialist during onboarding to request a bulk milestone import if you have a large existing checklist.
Generate a Development Report
Fleedu compiles all logged milestone observations for a student into a formatted Development Report that you can review, download, and share. To generate a report:- Open the student’s milestone profile.
- Tap Generate Report in the top-right corner.
- Select the reporting period (e.g., this month, last semester, or a custom date range).
- Choose which development areas to include.
- Tap Generate. Fleedu compiles the report within a few seconds.
Share Development Reports with Parents
Once a report is generated, you can share it with parents directly through Fleedu:- From the generated report screen, tap Share with Parent.
- Confirm the linked parent contacts for this student.
- Tap Send. Parents receive a notification in the Fleedu Parent App and can view the full report there.
View a Student’s Full Milestone History
To see a complete record of every observation ever logged for a student:- Open the student’s milestone profile.
- Tap the History tab.
- Scroll through observations listed in reverse chronological order. You can filter by development area or date range using the filter controls at the top.
Can I edit or delete an observation after saving it?
Can I edit or delete an observation after saving it?
Yes. Open the observation from the student’s milestone history, tap the three-dot menu (⋮), and choose Edit or Delete. Editing an observation updates the record immediately. Deleting an observation is permanent and cannot be undone, so use this option only to remove entries made in error. All edits are timestamped and attributed to the teacher who made the change for audit purposes.
What happens to milestone data when a student graduates or leaves?
What happens to milestone data when a student graduates or leaves?
A student’s complete milestone history, including all observations, notes, and photos, is retained in Fleedu for as long as your school’s account is active. When a student is marked as graduated or transferred, their profile is archived rather than deleted. Archived profiles remain accessible to administrators and can be restored if needed. Your school’s data retention policy may govern how long archived records are kept — check with your administrator for details.
