Documenting Children's Learning
We record your child's development, routines and activities so you can stay connected to their journey every step of the way.
At AWELC your child's development, routines and activities are recorded for you to enjoy and share. As part of our practices, we record information and observations that are designed to not only keep you informed, but to further extend on your child's abilities, interests and strengths.
We provide a Centre-to-Family communication platform through Storypark, so families can maintain contact with their children's experiences through photos, stories and learning outcomes. Each family is provided with a secure login to access their Storypark account on mobiles, computers and through the app.
Families are able to comment on what their child is doing and learning at the centre and also share photos and updates with our educators and teachers.

How we document in person
Our Weekly Post
Each weekly post shares an overall view of what teaching and learning was occurring in the Learning Space throughout the week, showing how our intentional teaching supports the holistic development of all children. We share photos to provide families with a visual representation of learning through play and as a talking point to share with children at home.
Our Monthly Learning Journey
Our team of Educators collaborate and compile meaningful observations of each individual child's learning and development across each day and week. These are shared on Storypark, with hard copy versions available in the Learning Spaces, allowing for both child and family engagement throughout the year.
Our Emerging Curriculum Wall
Our Emerging Curriculum is a collection of the Weekly Posts, where we put photos and documentation on display for the children to see and track their learning journey as it evolves.
Our Floor Book
Our floor books create a balance between intentional teaching, child autonomy and supporting children to develop a disposition for lifelong learning. We use photos and documentation from our Emerging Curriculum Wall, scrapbooking collaboratively with children and reflecting together upon our previous month of learning.
