We believe the key to maximising children’s learning is through strong partnerships with parents and carers. Research shows that these strong collaborations have significant impact on children’s progress.

 

We have moved away from producing traditional learning journals and individual photos of children. Instead, we have developed strategies that we believe will have a greater impact on your child’s learning. These strategies are:

​

• Dedicating all of our time in session staying ‘in the moment’ with your child

• Dedicating all our time out of session directly communicating with you as their first educator

 

Children make most progress when they receive rich interactions with highly skilled adults. All staff are tasked with one thing during sessions; to be valuable play partners and responsive educators. Rather than take photos and then make notes our staff seize teachable moments to move learning forward and are always available for children-never frantically writing up a note or asking children to wait. This results in highly engaged children and rich learning experiences.

 

We do, however, use a range of strategies to communicate with you about your child/ren. The guide below outlines the many ways we share information and the frequency you should expect the information to be shared.
