Hi, can someone give me a list of all the paperwork that is required to do on a daily and weekly basis for a level 4 and a ECT?
I'm a casual and considering studying a post graduate degree in early Childhood education 0-5 with SCU.
I want to make sure I know what I am getting myself into and see if I can be able to manage the paperwork load.
How many hours do you do paper work a day?

Re: Paperwork
Here's a list of the typical paperwork required for both Level 4 educators and Early Childhood Teachers (ECTs):
Daily Paperwork
Child Attendance Records: Logging in and out times for each child.
Health and Safety Checks: Recording any incidents, injuries, or health concerns.
Meal and Snack Records: Documenting what each child ate and any dietary notes.
Behavioral Observations: Noting any significant behaviors or interactions.
Learning Journals: Keeping track of each child's activities and progress.
Communication Logs: Recording any communications with parents or guardians.
Weekly Paperwork
Lesson Plans: Preparing and updating weekly lesson plans.
Progress Reports: Summarizing each child's progress and any areas needing attention.
Incident Reports: Detailed reports for any significant incidents or accidents.
Staff Meetings Notes: Documenting discussions and decisions from staff meetings.
Curriculum Updates: Updating any changes or new activities in the curriculum.
Professional Development Logs: Recording any training or development activities.
Average Hours Spent on Paperwork
Early childhood educators typically spend around 45 minutes to 1 hour on paperwork each day. This can vary depending on the size of the class, the age of the children, and the specific requirements of the center.
