Tracking, Celebrating, and Supporting Your Child’s Growth Every Step of the Way
At Kids Academy, we are committed to providing a high-quality, private early education experience that nurtures every child’s individual growth. Our Progress Records, completed three times a year, track each child’s learning and development, ensuring they are supported in reaching their full potential. These records help families stay informed about their child’s progress, achievements, and emerging interests, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in early learning.
How We Track Your Child’s Development
Throughout the year, our educators actively observe, document, and assess how children engage, learn, and interact in our enriching environment. We focus on key developmental areas, including:
- Cognitive skills and problem-solving abilities
- Social and emotional development
- Language and communication skills
- Physical growth and coordination
Reflecting on Your Child’s Learning
To create a meaningful and personalised learning journey, our educators consider:
- What learning is evident? Is it new or evolving?
- How is this learning meaningful for the child?
- Was the experience significant or concerning for the educator or family?
- Are there emerging interests that can be further nurtured?
By answering these questions, we ensure that every child’s progress is carefully monitored and supported.
Aligning Learning With Recognised Educational Frameworks
At Kids Academy, we uphold the highest standards in early education by linking each child’s Progress Record to:
- Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum, designed to foster a love for learning through structured, play-based, and inquiry-driven experiences.
- The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), Australia’s national framework for early childhood education.
- Developmental Milestones, ensuring that each child’s growth aligns with recognised early learning benchmarks.
Parent-Teacher Interviews: Partnering With Families
We believe in strong family-educator collaboration. After completing a Progress Record, our educators arrange a parent-teacher interview, providing a dedicated time to:
- Discuss your child’s development, achievements, and learning experiences.
- Set individualised learning goals to support continued progress.
- Talk about school readiness and strategies to prepare for a smooth transition.
- Address any concerns and share observations from home.
These discussions help families and educators work together to ensure each child is receiving the best possible support.
Celebrating Growth Every Step of the Way
Every child’s learning journey is unique, and at Kids Academy, we celebrate every achievement, big and small. Our Progress Records and parent-teacher interviews allow us to track and support each child’s development while helping them gain confidence and independence in their learning.
If you have any questions about your child’s Progress Records or would like to discuss their learning journey, please reach out to your Centre Manager or Lead Educator.
