The Central Outdoor Programming Diary is designed to ensure intentional teaching does not stop when going outdoors. It is a space for all rooms to collaborate on planning a deliberate and purposeful outdoor program that values each child.

Save time checking each room's individual program by collaborating together on your shared outdoor spaces. All while simplifying your workload with this all-inclusive diary that enables quick access to weekly and future programming utilising both notes and visuals.

This diary:

Captures the planning of each room collaboratively in one program,
Allows the indoor and outdoor programs to connect and extend children's learning,
Supports Educators in charge of setting up outdoor spaces with a clear picture of what is planned for each room,
Enables intentional and inclusive environments for all children outdoors,
Provides Families with easily accessible information about the outdoor program and how their children's learning is being planned for,
Fosters children's autonomy, decision-making, and connection with Nature through purposeful boxes on Risky Play, Messy/Water Play, and Nature/Exploration.

Build collaborative partnerships as children's learning can be recorded by all staff in the outdoor environment. The Evaluation & Extension Ideas reflection space allows all staff to capture children's learning and reflect on the success and challenges of the program. Children are also encouraged to collaborate with 'Spontaneous/Children's Choice' which enables children's autonomy as they craft their own learning through their interests.

The Outdoor Programming Diary ensures intentional teaching does not stop at the door. We often received feedback that the outdoor space was being used to just let children out to run and while this is incredibly important, burning energy should not be confused with a lack of intentional teaching. The person opening and setting up in the morning will often not have time to go inside and check each individual room’s program to see what activities would benefit the children outdoors and so sets up the yard in a random fashion. The Outdoor Programming Diary ensures the outdoor space is as intentional and inclusive as the indoor environments.

The Outdoor Programming Diary is designed for those running under the Early Years Learning Framework who have shared outdoor spaces across rooms or age groups.

No, the Central Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary is designed to be used per outdoor space rather than per room. Each room would contribute to the planning in the Outdoor Programming Diary and whoever is setting up the yard in the morning would refer to the program. This creates an outdoor space that promotes intentional teaching and makes this obvious for Assessment and Rating.

"Each diary that we use is laid out in such a way that ALL compliance and record keeping is there - it simply needs to be filled out - each individual diary ticks all the compliance boxes - all the educators have to do is fill them out - it is really simple and easy to understand - This ensures everything is easy to find and on show for spot checks etc. Also no need to go back and fill in missing gaps as everything is there."

Common feedback that we hear is that our Diaries keep everything is one place. With the pressure of Assessment and Rating and so much paperwork, it can make staying organised difficult. We reduce compliance confusion and support you in keeping everything together - particularly handy now with reduced time notices before A&R now in effect.
