Activity
log.
The spine of the app. Log it once, in the shape your council report already wants, and it is there waiting when the form lands.
included on every plan
Log it, or just observe
Log a planned session, or capture the moment.
At the end of the day, the Log Activity button takes the date, how long it ran, the Montessori areas it touched, and a short note. Attach more than one child to the same session, tag it against a class if it was a co-op or outing, the entry is done.
When something happens that you do not want to lose, Quick Observe captures it in seconds. The kitchen-table moment, the spontaneous question on a walk, the page they kept turning back to. No full form, no reach for the right field, just the observation, the child, and a date.
Find it again
Find what you logged, when you need it.
Search by title or note, filter by Montessori area, child, or status, narrow to a date range. Tap a Montessori area on the coverage map and the log opens already filtered to the activities that covered it.
Star anything you want to keep and it lands in the Portfolio. Edit a logged session if you remember more later, or remove one if it was logged in error. The log is yours, not a shared classroom record, so you can rewrite it.
Auto or manual
Auto-draft from your schedule, or stay manual.
Turn auto-generate on and the app drafts entries from your schedule each day; you review and confirm. Keep it on Manual and you log in your own time, with a small note on your week if a scheduled session has not been logged. No streaks, no reminders, just the note.
In the app
How it sits inside Willowfolio.
Six surfaces, one record. Each one is a place you are already standing when the moment happens, so logging never asks you to walk somewhere else.

Common questions
The things families ask first.
- Can I log for more than one child at once?
- Yes. Attach all the children who were part of the same session in the same form. The entry then shows up on each child's records, with the same notes and Montessori tags.
- Do I have to fill in the Montessori fields?
- No. Every Montessori-specific field is optional, and if your family does not work that way you will not see them. Charlotte Mason, classical, and unschooling families use the log without the Montessori fields ever appearing.
- What if I forget to log something for a few days?
- Backdate it when you remember. The app does not punish a quiet week, there are no streaks and no notifications. A small nudge on your home page shows any scheduled sessions you have not logged yet, and you can ignore it.
