MemberMarch 29, 2023 at 6:18 pmObserving and documenting a child’s development can help early learning and childcare providers identify children’s individual skills or abilities in order to cater content to helping them learn. This creates a more stable and engaging learning environment for children and promotes their ability to explore themselves, their emotions, their interests and their abilities in a developmentally appropriate way and setting. With this, children are better able to develop their cognitive and socioemotional skills and abilities to traverse through the world.
