Observing and documenting children’s development allows early childhood teachers to learn about their specific strengths, areas of need, and how they are developing on the milestone continuum. By gathering this information, we can then adapt our teaching to support children who need extra support and add challenges to students showing mastery in skills we are teaching. Modifying our lessons to fit each child is crucial in these young years, as the diversity of skills and needs is so vast.

[J 😛]

Observing and documenting a child’s development significantly helps early learning providers as that determines how we care for each child in our care. We create curriculums or environments that not only help thrive a child’s skills but also challenges them to try new things and thus continuing growth in the child’s overall development. For the skills they are not ready for (that we gathered from data and observation), we use the method of scaffolding to guide them to master the skill overtime.
