Your Child Progress Report
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, The Berry Patch Preschool and Long Day Care Centres is committed to encouraging learning among children as soon as they enrol until they are ready to attend primary school. Our team of experts have formulated a lesson plan template that ticks all the boxes of Early Childhood Education.
We continuously plan, document and evaluate each child’s progress, taking into account how they absorb information and tackle challenges, both on their own or as part of a group. Implementing this hands-on approach assists children in their development from 0 to 6 years old.

Observations of the children are documented by educators to plan experiences that are developmentally appropriate for the children. Aside from giving them the tools to learn new things, our lesson plans also provide them opportunities to enhance their existing skills.
Many experiences result from children’s current interests, thoughts, ideas and questions. These often develop into projects in the classroom. Planning for the children is also achieved through information received from parents relating to their child’s interests, needs and abilities.
Developmental Assessment
Each child will have developmental summaries completed that demonstrate their progress throughout the year. These are completed by their teacher half yearly and again at the end of each year. A transition to school statement is completed for the children who are leaving for big school.
Families have access to their child’s observations, developmental summaries and photos via Kinder m8 and are able to download these at any time.
Parent/Teacher Interviews are held in either July or August for children aged 2-5 years. This is the best time for parents and teachers to discuss students’ progress. However, parents are welcome to speak to our teachers at any time.
