Overview
ELI Web is a secure Ministry application for early learning services that do not use an alternative Student Management System (SMS) to submit ELI information to the Ministry.
Student Management Systems — Ministry of Education
The Ministry collects a range of information through ELI web about enrolled children, attendance, teaching and non-teaching staff, as well as some general information on early learning services such as the waiting times for new starters. This Information is collected regularly from early learning services including education and care centres, kindergartens, home-based services, and playcentres.
There is no cost associated with using ELI Web; this application is provided free by the Ministry.
Using an approved Student Management Systems (SMS) as an alternative
Early learning services should only use either ELI Web or an approved SMS to submit ELI data to the Ministry. If you decide to use an SMS, you will login via your software and may be required to submit your data to the Ministry.
ELI Web provides the Ministry with the required information, but it does not incorporate all the functions of a traditional SMS.

These services include licensed Education and Care services, Kindergartens, Playcentres, and Home-based early learning services.
Playgroups, Hospital-based, and Casual Education and Care services are currently not required to use ELI to submit enrolment and attendance information to the Ministry.
