Each child at Seedlings Early Learning Centre will have their own child portfolio. The portfolio is a record of the individual child’s learning journey that children, educators and parents/whanau contribute to on an on-going basis. Educators in consultation with each other, the child and whanau will set a learning objective for the child. Educators will then use effective teaching strategies to support the child’s learning and development in that area. Progress and outcomes of the learning objectives are documented using narrative stories which are often revisited time and time again by both children and adults alike.
Throughout the year the centre will hold celebration of learning evenings. This is an opportunity for us all to come together to celebrate the learning and achievements of the children at Seedlings Early Learning Centre. This may be in the form of individualised meetings or as a whole centre event where we celebrate and share some of the projects and events that have been taking place. This is also an opportunity for you to get to know our educators and families a little more and familiarise and contribute within your child’s early learning environment.
