Portfolios
At Rocket Kids each child has their own individual portfolio which is how we assess and document children's learning. Staff document learning, achievements, events and milestones through these portfolios using learning stories which help make learning and progress visible. Children's individual portfolios are managed traditionally (i.e. documenting and storing children's learning achievements in a display folder) or through Educa. Educa is a web-based portfolio of a child’s growth and development at an early childhood centre. It allows parents and early childhood teachers to share a child’s journey and gain valuable feedback.
We encourage the children and parents to read their portfolio and to contribute their own learning stories to it if they wish. Each child gets to keep their portfolio at the end of their journey at Rocket Kids as a record of their learning and development. Your child's Educa portfolio will be downloaded onto a CD.
Many schools also encourage children and their families to bring their portfolio along to school when they start as this helps with the transition as well as continuity.
