importance of making a conscious effort to stop showing children’s faces in our posts and instead focus on showcasing the learning experiences taking place.
It is empowering to realise that our photos can still tell a meaningful and engaging story without revealing a child's identity. By making this small but significant change, we are: Protecting children's right to privacy Safeguarding their digital footprint Ensuring a safer online presence for all children in our care
We encourage you to explore creative ways to capture learning moments—such as focusing on children’s hands, their interactions with materials, or the environment around them. To help guide this approach, we love this insightful blog post from the Digital Child that shares valuable tips on photography without showing children’s faces:
Here are some great ways to capture children's play and learning experiences without showing their faces:
Hands-on Activities – Focus on small hands painting, building blocks, or crafting.
Back or Side Angles – Capture children from behind as they explore nature, read books, or engage in group play.
Close-ups of Play Materials – Highlight toys, puzzles, or art supplies being used.
Silhouettes or Shadows – Use lighting creatively to capture children's movement without revealing their identity.
Feet in Action – Show children jumping, running, or standing in a group activity.
These methods allow us to tell a meaningful story of learning and joy while protecting children's privacy and digital footprint.
