Introduction
THE VALUES OF OBSERVING CHILDREN:
• "To appreciate and learn about children’s growth,
development, temperament and
interests" (Abbas, 2024, slide 24).
• "To inform curriculum and environmental design and make
adaptations where necessary" (Abbas, 2024, slide 24).
• "To observe the safety and well-being (social, emotional, and
physical) of each child in the group" (Abbas, 2024, slide 25).
• "without observing, you are neglecting." -Lauryn and Marina
(2024)
• "it is a foundational and cyclical process that involves
watching, listening, and documenting children's learning and
behaviour, as well as many other elements about children
and the environment" (Fenning & Wylie, 2021, p. 3).

curriculum zone or in all available areas in the playroom

information on a number of items.
