Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about this product.

The Butler Method is designed to show the cycle of planning and can be described as a boxed method of programming that captures intentional teaching and spontaneous experiences.

Simply write the name or a short description of the experience in the appropriate box and link it with the Learning Outcome checkbox. Reflect on your program using the prompts on the reflection spread. Use this program and reflection to plan the following week using a symbol, dates, and children's initials to make the planning cycle obvious to all.

You can learn more about the Butler Method on our blog or in our Butler Method Digital Course.

Yes, the 2026 QLD Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary includes the updated QKLG.

This Diary in suitable for approved Kindergartens operating in Queensland using the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines.

"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.

Very helpful and easy to use

As a new ECT it is hard to know what to do and how to think through the lesson planning, but the QKLG Butler diary makes it simple and clear. The diary makes reflections meaningful and worthwhile

Thank you so much Pete! We love to hear how we are supporting new teachers!
