Junga For Educators
Discover how educators are leveraging Junga to open a door between the classroom and home.
Connect Home & Classroom
Junga helps improve the connection between the classroom and home through a shared platform for tracking student progress.
Build Real Resilience
Jungas build confidence and strengthen potential for optimism by completing tasks and overcoming structured challenges[1].
Insights For Growth
Track achievements, rewards, and emotional experiences over time to visualize growth and identify areas for extra support.
Privacy-First Design
Your student's privacy is fundamental. We do not serve ads, sell data, or share your information with any partners or third parties.
Designed For Families, Backed By Science
Research has shown structure and consistency form two fundamental building blocks of resilience and can encourage positive social emotional development in children. Junga builds upon evidence-based advice[2] to deliver a foundational tool to support well-established social emotional skills[3] such as self-awareness and self-management.
Build Confidence & Self-Esteem
Achieving goals and the recognition that comes with it (points and rewards) helps children build confidence and self-esteem through a sense of accomplishment.[6]
Teach Emotional Regulation
Clear, steady expectations give children practice in labeling, coping with, and modifying emotions - "Excellent work calming down after getting upset. You've earned a point for composure!"[5]
Routines Reduce Stress
Creating routines helps children feel secure and reduces stress by providing predictable structure[4]
Open a window into your student's world outside school
Teachers, school counselors, and administrators can use Observer access to better understand how school expectations are showing up at home. By reviewing activity trends, emotional experiences, and family-recorded wins, staff can identify when a student may need extra support before challenges become patterns.
- View homework completion trends
- Review time spent on school-related tasks
- Track emotional check-ins between school days
- Spot early behavior shifts before they escalate
- Identify growth areas for Tier 1 / Tier 2 support
- Celebrate achievements families record at home
Keep SEL language consistent from classroom to home
Reinforce the same social-emotional goals across the full support team, including teachers, counselors, and family members. When everyone recognizes the same target behaviors, students receive clearer feedback, stronger consistency, and more opportunities to practice key skills in real-life settings outside school.
- Self-regulation
- Classroom readiness
- Peer empathy
- Conflict repair
- Help-seeking
- Task initiation
- Organization & planning
- Positive leadership
- Growth mindset
- Responsible decision-making
Dive in and see how it works!
Junga is most effective when paired with a well-designed social emotional program.
Junga is designed to be flexible and adaptable to fit the various approaches of behavioral methods such as The Kazdin Method® and other well-established, research-backed Social Emotional programs. We provide tools to help you implement the program and track progress to encourage growth in key areas for positive child development.
Experience Tracking
Emotions are complicated. People aren't usually just excited - they're excited, very nervous, and a little scared. They're not just awkward - they're awkward and embarrassed. With Junga, Keepers can track any number of emotions and their intensity for each, then rate the deeper impact of the experience with our stress meter. Gain richer insight into what helped last time, so you're ready for what comes next. When you understand the layers, you can respond with what actually helps.
Visual Timers
Research has shown that visual timers help children better understand the passage of time and can eliminate the question of "how much longer", which has been shown to reduce "when will it end" anxiety [7], and positively impact behavior[8]. The use of timers introduces time management skills and time-bound events such as sharing, brushing teeth, length of game play, and others typically proceed more smoothly when a timer is involved. It really is simple: less surprises equals fewer breakdowns.
Private Messaging
Secure, private group messaging. Connect parents, grandparents, educators, therapists, coaches, and babysitters all in one private, real-time thread. Rich push notifications, read receipts, emojis, and image sharing immerse your Village in collaboration - no phone numbers needed. Roll Junga Support into any thread to get help where you need it. School issue? Loop in the teacher and counselor to resolve it faster than email alone.
Catalog & Activity Center
Our pre-made catalogs give you a quick start. Edit from there, build your own, or borrow from catalogs curated by community members. Once your catalogs are set, the Activity Center is where the action begins. Track tasks, celebrate milestones, and capture experiences - all synced across devices, ready whenever inspiration strikes.
Tasks & Rewards
Build Habits Worth Celebrating. Customize tasks with icons, emojis, or your own images. Schedule recurring routines - Tuesdays? After dinner? You decide. Timers sync across devices - multiple Keepers, one seamless flow. Rewards unlock naturally as your Junga builds momentum. Points earned provide proof of progress. Every milestone reached is a moment to pause and say "look how far you've come." Because confidence grows best when effort meets recognition.
Points Freeze
A points freeze is a temporary hold on a Junga's ability to redeem points as a consequence for behavior that fell outside expectations. During this time, Jungas can continue earning points by completing tasks but will not be able to redeem points for rewards. This freeze will expire automatically after the duration set by the Keeper. A points freeze can be an effective way to encourage reflection and discussion about behavior without taking away the opportunity for growth through earning points.
What Educators Are Saying
Hear from real educators who have experienced the benefits of integrating Junga in their classrooms.
"Our daughter loves to go potty now because she gets her points. She's gone to potty 3x now in 10 minutes 🤣"
"This looks way more funner than Greenlight - it has sound effects. I want this!"
"The Junga points have been really helping our daughter transition to big sis!! She's understanding that helping and cleaning up get her points and she now volunteers to get points to watch Daniel Tiger 😂"

Our flexible design allows each Keeper to create a village experience tailored to support Jungas at any age or stage of life. We offer pre-configured catalogs for Jungas ages 0-3, 3-5, 5-8, 8-12, and 12+ to help get you up and running quickly, but we consider a Junga to be anyone from age 1 to 100 who relies on another's guidance for growth and development.
View full articleIs Junga designed exclusively for children experiencing behavioral challenges?
Junga is inclusive by design, and created to support every child through the flexible application of best-practices found in well-established, research-backed social emotional programs created to amplify their strengths and provide tools to help them grow in key areas for positive development.
View full articleWhat happens if a Junga doesn't complete a task?
If a Junga doesn't complete a task within the outlined criteria for earning the points, Keepers can apply a "miss" which serves as a gentle consequence and an opportunity for reflection and discussion about the expectations required to earn the points. Misses are tracked in the system to provide insights into patterns that may need extra attention.
View full articleIs Junga available on more than one device?
Yes, Junga is designed to be accessible on multiple devices, allowing Keepers to manage and support their Jungas from anywhere.
This multi-device capability ensures that the platform can be seamlessly integrated into daily routines, providing consistent platform for tracking progress and understanding the current state of things in their village.
For example, a Primary Keeper and Co-Keeper can work together on tasks (including timers) and monitor progress in real-time from their own device.
Can I view an active timer on more than one device?
Yes! You can view and manage active timers on multiple devices, ensuring that all Keepers in your village stay synchronized and up-to-date with ongoing activities. If a Junga has only a few minutes left of a timed task or reward, any Keeper with access can check in and complete the task. You can even resume a timer paused on a different device!
View full articleDoes Junga serve ads?
No. Our monthly subscription covers the costs of maintaining the platform, allowing us the freedom to provide a high-quality, private, ad-free experience for our users. Our values do not align with the practice of advertising to children, and we have no plans to ever serve ads on our platform.
