A learning journey with zero extra writing

Kids Journey has no "add entry" button anywhere in it. There's nothing to fill in, because it isn't a form — it's an Aistear-aligned aggregation over the daily notes and developmental observations staff are already writing as part of normal logging, tagged by theme and filterable, built entirely from work that already happens.

The tradeoff is real and worth naming: because it's assembled from existing notes rather than a dedicated curriculum form, it reflects what staff happened to write about, not a guaranteed even coverage across every developmental area for every child. A feature that's actually used beats one that's more complete on paper and empty in practice.

It sits as the second item in a child's photo feed now, not the first — the child's own recent photos lead, because a themed room card was never actually 'photo-first' for that specific child. Small placement decision, but it's the kind of thing that only gets fixed by watching how a feature is actually used, not how it looks in a spec.
