How does observing and documenting a child’s development help early learning providers?
Observing and documenting a child’s development can help early learning providers in many ways. For example, an early learning provider can observe the child to try to figure out some of the child’s interests. The provider can then use these observed interests to try to build a relationship with the child. The provider can also use their observations to try to gauge where the child may lie developmentally in the different domains such as academically or physically. The providers can then use the observation to create developmentally appropriate activities specifically for that child.

Intentional observing and documenting a child’s development is helpful for the early learning provider in establishing their current developmental status, reflect on curriculum that is needed to meet their needs, and develop a plan to keep their learning moving forward.

Observing and documenting a child’s develop helps early learning providers by helping them understand the child and where they are developmentally. This allows this to shape activities to meet the child’s individual development needs and alerts them to areas the child may be struggling in or excelling in.

Observing and documenting a child’s development can give you a better idea about the child as a whole, in different areas of learning. From reading and math to social and emotional, to fine motor skills, all childrent develop at different rates and these observations can help to see if the child is within the typical range. Maybe they are still approaching the milestone or task, or maybe they have met the standard. If not, these observations can help get support for that child weather in a small group setting or 1 on 1. By keeping these observations and records, you can see how the child has developed during the school year as well as have evidence to support your findings with admin or directors as well as families.

It’s helps with what they are interested in and building a relationship with the child and documenting the child’s development can help with the child to go in the right direction than the wrong direction, if the child is in the wrong direction than we can work out a plan with the parents.
