Assessment of Children's Learning and Development

Assessment of the children’s learning and development is key to evaluating the success of the teaching programme. The documenting of learning is a powerful way to not only support the learning, but to nurture the future learning opportunities of each child. Assessment is credit based and focuses on children’s strengths, interests and skills.

Each child has an individual profile, which provides a rich, detailed picture of children’s efforts, progress and achievements. The profiles help teachers and family better understand the individual child, their growth and individual uniqueness and guide future learning opportunities. Profiles are available to parents/whānau to view at anytime and children take their profiles when they leave kindergarten and go on to school.
