USING OUR LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES:
MindingKids understands that childcare providers work in different ways and may use various techniques to observe, record and share development information. Many feel it is useful to write lots down, others prefer short notes, some like written records whilst others favour digital, paperless solutions.
Different strategies may also be used for each child depending on their age and learning stage, how often they attend the childcare setting and whether or not they also attend school or another setting.
To accommodate this, MindingKids offers a variety of solutions through our downloadable resources and the MindingKids App to suit different types of settings and ways of working. It is important to find techniques that is right for you, your setting and most importantly the children and families you provide care for.
We hope that you will find this resource helpful to use either independently or alongside further resources to support you and your setting in your learning and development support strategy.
