The Kinda Kapers educational program is based on an ongoing cycle of planning, documenting and evaluating children's learning. Early childhood teachers observe children and gather information to prepare play-based educational programs targeted to children's strengths and needs.
Portfolios recording how, what and why children learn are available for parents throughout the year. This planning and documenting of your child's learning reflects Kinda Kapers professional attitude and commitment.
Portfolios are made up of photos of your child's learning, stories, observations, group experiences, graphs and artworks and then copied onto a USB for each family at the end of the year.
