Observing and documenting a child’s development helps the teacher decide what to build their curriculum around. Seeing what areas need more attention and which ones are flourishing.

I’d have a discussion with her asking if she needs any help with anything and try to figure out why she is late. She may be going through issues that are affecting her arrival time. I’d try to remind her that the time doesn’t seem very long but for a child is is and that it is difficult to schedule after closing time with staff.
