Adding a Child Profile | Aletheia Support

Each child in Aletheia has their own private learning space. Parents create and manage child profiles from the parent dashboard.

Before You Begin

You need an existing parent account. If you haven't created one yet, see Creating Your Account.
If you signed up with email and password, verify your email first.
If this is your first child, you'll complete a one-time COPPA parental consent step first.
Decide whether your child should sign in with a PIN only, or with a PIN plus their own email account.

Steps to Add a Child Profile

1. Open Children

2. Enter Profile Details

Fill in:

Display Name (Nickname) - this is how the tutor will address your child. For privacy, don't use their real name.
Age Range - choose 5-7, 8-10, 11-14, or 15-18 years.

Age range tunes the tutor's tone and reading level.

3. Choose a Learning Plan

In the Learning plan section:

Pick a Grade (Kindergarten through Grade 12), or choose Not sure yet.
Leave Set up the recommended subjects for this grade checked if you want Aletheia to add that grade's core subjects for you. You'll see a preview of the included subjects.

You can add, remove, or adjust subjects later. See Grade Packages & Personalization.

4. Personalize Lessons (Optional)

The Help us personalize lessons section asks what helps your child feel confident, what they enjoy, and where they could use extra support. Answers shape examples, encouragement, and pacing. Check Skip if you'd rather not answer now.

Under How will your child sign in?, pick one:

PIN Code - your child signs in with your family code and a 4-6 digit PIN. Recommended, especially for younger children.
PIN + Email Account - your child can use their PIN, or their own email account with a password or Google/Apple sign-in. Best for older children with their own email address.

Every child gets a PIN. Enter it twice to confirm. Each child in your family needs a different PIN, because Aletheia uses the PIN to tell siblings apart.

If you choose PIN + Email Account, enter your Child's Email, then pick how to set up email sign-in:

Send setup email - Aletheia emails your child a link to create a password or continue with Google/Apple.
Set password now - you create the first password (at least 8 characters) and share it with your child. No email is sent.

See Child Account Setup & SSO for details.

6. Create the Profile

Click Create Profile. You'll return to the Children page, where the next step is sharing the student login with your child.

Your family code is a short code tied to your family account. Children using PIN sign-in need the family code plus their own PIN.

You'll find it in the Student login card on your parent Dashboard and on the Children page. From that card you can:

Copy family code - copy just the code.
Copy student link - copy a link to the child sign-in page with your family code already filled in.
Open student login - open that page in a new tab. Handy when setting up your child's device.
QR Code - show a QR code your child can scan with a phone or tablet to open the same link.

The link and QR code only fill in the family code. Your child still needs their PIN to get in.

Tip: The family code isn't a secret on its own, but share it only with your family, not publicly, and never post it together with a PIN. Your family code can't currently be changed. If you think a PIN has been exposed, change that child's PIN from their profile Settings, on the Login tab.

Managing Multiple Children

Free and Starter support 1 active child profile.
Family supports up to 5 active child profiles.
Family+ supports up to 10 active child profiles.

Archived children do not count as active child seats. If your Family+ household needs more than 10 active children, contact support.

What Happens Next

Once a profile is created:

Share the student login link (or family code) and PIN with your child.
If you chose Send setup email, ask your child to open the email and finish setup.
Review subjects if you want to change the recommended plan.
Help your child sign in. The first time, they'll go through a short welcome. See Your Child's First Login.
