Dear Families,

As some of you may already know my name is Shannon and I am educational leader at Kidz Magic. My role is 'to lead the development and implementation of educational programs in the service' as stated in the Education and Care Services National Regulations.

For my first newsletter piece I would like to provide you with as much information as possible about the Educational programs and documentation that is being completed by each room.

The educators in all the rooms are required to compose and deliver an educational program daily.They compose the program through observing and interacting with your children and gathering information, documenting this information and then using it to create the program. Although there is some form of planning that goes into each program, there is also flexibility for spontaneous, child initiated or parent input experiences. As you can imagine there is a lot of learning and teaching that occurs daily.The educators attempt to document as much as they can however there are moments that are not always written down or have a photo to show what happened.

To ensure you are informed of the documentation that each room is completing, I have compiled the information and have listed it below.

If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this please come see your child's educator, Tammy or I.

Thanks Shannon
