Our precious souvenir

Upon admittance to our daycare, each child is given their own personal folder. Within this folder are developmental (language, motor skills, cognitive etc), play, social and personal strides that the child accomplishes. These are documented using photos and pictures or in words. This folder is then given to the child and parents or guardians when their “daycare journey” is over…this is treasured memory and souvenir for the family, showing not only the leaps a child makes but also how he or she grows and changes over the years.

For our qualified staff the Portfolio folder is a highly significant document. This folder contains the personal development of a child as well as the many ways in which a child learns. Depending on the personal steps and leaps a child has made in a certain developmental, social or personal area it is possible for a qualified carer to plan and execute a support program based on the child records held in the folder. This folder is also a useful means for discussions between parents and our team. As each child has his or her own personal folder, the child and their parent or guardian are more than welcome to view this document on any given day within the daycare premises.
