Hi All,
I just need some assistance.
What is the difference between them? And some key points on writing them?
Thanks.

Observations:

Observations are crucial for all early childhood settings and are used to build an understanding of a child’s skills, interests, abilities and focuses on what they can do.

Learning Story:

It should focus on a child or a group of children, about the decisions they make and the consequences that follow. With detail descriptions like in a narrative, a Learning Story provides an informative approach of the experience and the events that occurred.
