Your Question?
Why is it important to collect information about each childs needs, interests and cultural practices?

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
It is important to collect information about each child’s needs, interests and cultural practices to be able to plan and implement positive, meaningful and inclusive experiences and environments which are relevant to the children within the service.
When information is gathered it allows educators to create learning environments and experiences which are based around the needs and interests of the children. These tailored environments create a welcoming atmosphere relevant to the children and their families.
Having knowledge of each child’s cultural practices enables educators to provide environments and experiences which are inclusive of all the children within the service which makes them feel confident within themselves and provides the children with a strong sense of identity.
By using this knowledge and information educators can provide engaging experiences to further develop their learning and create trusting and respectful relationships with the children and their families.
