Plan learning experiences and the week's activities
An agent can suggest activities from the curriculum and the children's interests. The educator decides what will work for this group.
Write observations and a short daily report for families
An agent can turn quick notes into a tidy observation. The educator checks that it is accurate and appropriate to share.
Prepare the room list, activity set-up and special requests for the day
An agent can compile the list from the diary. The educator checks allergies, ratios and what's actually needed.
Check allergen and meal information before food is served
An agent can surface each child's recorded allergies. The educator still checks before food is given.
