The Learning Stories Approach

The Learning Stories Approach is a way of understanding and documenting a child's development through ongoing observations and storytelling. Caregivers or educators watch and note meaningful moments where a child learns, explores, or demonstrates new skills. These stories highlight individual progress over time, emphasizing strengths and interests. Instead of traditional tests or assessments, this approach values natural experiences, fostering a positive view of learning. It encourages a collaborative view of development, engaging families and educators in understanding each child's unique journey and potential.
