The Great Documentation debate

In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into a topic that might ruffle a few feathers—documentation in early childhood education. Grab a coffee and brace yourself as we unpack the good, the bad, and the downright chaotic world of learning stories, portfolios, and documentation overload.

Once the gold standard, learning stories replaced dry, clinical records with meaningful narratives that celebrated the magic of children’s learning. But in 2024, are they still serving their purpose, or have they become a treadmill of deadlines, quotas, and copy-pasted outcomes? Join us as we question the status quo, share honest reflections, and explore what meaningful documentation really looks like today.
