Portfolios

As a part of the care and education program our Childcare centre uses Child Portfolios to document evidence of each child’s learning and development.

Child Portfolios are a collection of observations, evidence of children’s work/achievements and anecdotes of your child’s experiences while in care.

Child Portfolios become a story of your child’s life at Little Kids Academy, showing skills developed over time, telling stories of play situations and highlighting interactions and friendships being made, a record of your child’s interests, likes, dislikes and other events or activities while in care.

These portfolios are used to plan experiences and make appropriate provisions to meet and extend upon the individual needs and interests of your child.

Child Portfolios are available to parents at all times. Parents are encouraged to view, discuss, comment on or add to the portfolio at any time in consultation with your child’s Room Leader. Child Portfolios are private and confidential and are available only to appropriate centre staff and parents.
