Programming and Reflection

Contemplate the day and learn along the way with Butler Diaries' childcare Programming and Reflection diaries. As part of the EYLF programming in childcare and MTOP programming in OSHC, these early childhood critical reflections diaries help you review the week’s events, learn by doing and strengthen your ability to critically analyse each day of operations. These early childhood reflection journals and other EYLF resources are for educators to record their day to day programming and reflections under the Australian National Quality Standard (NQS). There is a double paged spread for programming the week and then a double paged spread for recording reflections.

We did a road trip to Hervey Bay to drop off the Brady Bunch ELC orders for 2023. What a wonderful visit!
