Tracking, Celebrating, and Supporting Your Child’s Growth Every Step of the Way
At Aussie Kindies Early Learning, we believe that every child’s journey is special. Our Progress Records, completed three times a year, help us track and celebrate each child’s learning, development, and emerging interests. These records allow families to stay informed about their child’s progress and ensure they receive the best possible support in their early years.
Observing and Documenting Your Child’s Learning
Our educators are always observing, interacting, and supporting children in their learning. Throughout the day, they record meaningful moments that provide insight into key areas of development, including:
- Cognitive growth and problem-solving skills
- Social and emotional development
- Language and communication skills
- Physical development and coordination
Reflecting on Learning and Growth
Educators carefully reflect on their observations to understand each child’s progress and learning style. They consider:
- What learning is evident? Is it new or developing?
- How is this learning meaningful for the child?
- Was the experience significant or concerning for the educator or family?
- Are any new interests emerging?
These reflections help us create a personalised and supportive learning experience for every child.
Connecting Learning to Key Frameworks
At Aussie Kindies, we ensure that your child’s learning is guided by the best early education principles. Each Progress Record is linked to:
- Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum, designed to nurture confident and engaged learners.
- The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), Australia’s national curriculum for early childhood education.
- Developmental Milestones, which help us track and support children as they grow.
Parent-Teacher Interviews: A Strong Partnership
We know that families are a child’s first and most important teachers. That’s why, after each Progress Record, we invite parents to a one-on-one parent-teacher interview to:
- Discuss their child’s learning, interests, and achievements.
- Set goals for the months ahead.
- Talk about school readiness and how to best prepare for the transition to primary school.
- Address any concerns in a warm and supportive environment.
These conversations help us work together as a team to give each child the best start in life.
Celebrating Every Milestone
At Aussie Kindies, we believe in recognising and celebrating every child’s progress—big or small! Our Progress Records and parent-teacher interviews ensure that families are informed and involved in their child’s learning journey.
If you have any questions about your child’s Progress Records or would like to arrange a discussion with their educator, please reach out to your Centre Manager or Lead Educator.
