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.
