Writing a progress report for early childhood education in Australia involves capturing a child's learning journey in a way that is clear, balanced, and informative for families.
This template is to be used to detail the child's progress over the course of the year. It's great to share with families to let them know specifically how their child developed and the new skills they learnt. It can also be used as a Transition Statement for the child to be shared with the school teacher.
