Hi Lorina - I would be interested in what size of diary is recommended for Child Care staff? A5 for an A4 size. Keeping daily notes and journals seems to be becoming more important. Do such diaries need to be kept in the workplace at all times? Kind Regards, Adrian

Hi Adrian,
I don't think there is a specific size and I think it depends primarily on the educator and what their needs are for the diary. However, in my experience the A4 size is larger and like you mentioned gives more space to jot down notes etc. When I use a yearly dairy within my room I use it as a communication tool with other educators within the room, leave notes or reminders, use it to add observation day's for focus children, also add my weekly self reflection and any other thought that comes to mind. It's so much easier to have all this in one spot in a dairy, rather than having post it notes everywhere. Also, helps me to keep track of my week...
Hope this helps,
