line
list of the five key areas


Look closely: children are discovering the world around them. Adults are
following children’s interests. Together, they’re showing us the potential for
learning that waits around every corner!

Documentation reveals the learning that comes from young children’s active, engaged work and play.

Visit The Power of Documentation to see how teachers have collected, analyzed, and interpreted evidence of children’s learning. Explore how revealing this learning through documentation helps teachers, informs parents and demonstrates accountability throughout the community.
