There are different types of documentation which have different purpose and they helps

development process. This process evaluated the progress towards the goals and children can
learn more from the different activities. Educator maintain their record because it can helps in
showing the strength and weakness of individual child. with the help of personal and professional
philosophy educator analysis the behaviour and communicating way of children. Documentation
process is about observing the child progress in leaning and development process. This helps
children to maintain their time schedule and aware about their activities and work (Saka, Kleper
and Kennet-Cohen, 2022).
Personal and professional philosophy to planning in early childhood education is the
process of analysing the needs and requirements of individual person. This process helps
children to learn and focus on different activities. Educator develops effective plan for children's
which will help them to develop more skills and improves their knowledge. Personal and
professional philosophy in planning is the way of developing structure plan as their academic

organizing process for early childhood programme. According to the personal and professional
philosophy every child has their own beliefs and values to towards their goals and learning
development. Educator develop the plan which is appropriate for individual child because all
children are different and have different capacity. Planning is the process of giving academic

childhood are the key elements which are effective for child learning development. The main
purpose of the planning in early childhood education is to ensure about the children balanced
curriculum which is based on their regular basis activities of learning new skills and knowledge.
Educator uses various types of tools and technologies which helps in executing plan in early
childhood education (Smith and et.al., 2019).
Educators have planned experience because every educator have their different personal
and professional philosophy which is essential in child care. With the help of effective planning
it can helps in promoting the learning process of child development. These are process of
improving children cognitive behaviour and skills. Planning for child learning development
ensures about the ICT of young children and it can make the learning process effective and

and enhance the capability of individual child in early childhood (Wang, 2019).
Assessment plays a important role in processing childhood learning while
enhancing their motivation and encouragement towards the study behaviour they need to
possessed. Assessment is embedded as an important element in the learning process of the
childhood which is highly interconnected with the curriculum and instruction which are required
according to children education needs. However, philosophy will guide the children the manner
in which they must behave with other in classroom section and how they will build the
relationship with teacher and children. Role of assessment in personal philosophy is to enhance
individual child strength, skills and abilities depending upon the child interest and beliefs.
Assessment is the approach used by the educator in personal philosophy is to enhance the
education quality of childhood (Ojennus, 2019).
To make child learn in more accurate manner it is essential for the children to foster their
self-confidence, creativity. Assessment in the early childhood is the comprehensive framework

which support the early educator to evaluate the student progress level according to their
knowledge and the skills they have adapted through learning. However, professional philosophy
also suggest that essential supervision of the childhood actions are need to be document by the
care educator effectively as to evolve their strength and weakness a mandatory instance to
develop. After analysis is being performed by the early childhood educator in prominent manner
of the individual children the care setting then they can plan the effective training sessions for
student depending upon their needs and beliefs. The training and education are need to be
provided in children familiar environment as to enhance children reflective practise in the
prominent manner (Grant, 2022).
They are symbolise as the important tool in child learning curriculum which facilitates
their development in progressive format. Assessment is accounted as essential child development
tool which will facilitate their growth in cognitive and social advantage. Assessment provided
the tailor made comprehensive learning in child development as development of child will
enhance their strength in optimistic manner. Through this assessment the child educator will get
the proper feedback about the child grasping skills and the cognitive power through which they
can regulate the effectiveness of the instruction or teaching provided to the children's.
Assessment provides a basis for the educator to modulate the curriculum depending upon the
demand of the child as philosophy suggest that every child has different cognitive power and the
actions are been made according to their flexibility to inherit the effective learning into them.
Primarily the educator can analyse the student assessment while demographic their reports
through the performance. This will provide the clear cut interpretation of the lacking action
which hare need to be modulate to enriched the optimistic learning in children (Kondratyev,
Kazakova and Kuznetsova, 2020).
Teaching in education is primarily defined as engagement which children have with the
educator to facilitate the understanding of their opinions, beliefs and values in conceptual manner
to process it. Teaching is approach of the educator where they need to form the alterative action
to engage their student in optimistic manner in learning. To make children a active construction
fo the knowledge it is essential for the educator to interpret their individual child subject matter
and cognitive strength. According to the personal philosophy it is been represent that each
Chillenden has their own beliefs and values under which they have been nurtured. To facilitate
the effective learning in them it is essential for the teacher to incorporate them the familiar
4

behaviour according to their needs and wants. The educator need to identify the children action
accurately through the assessment approach through which they can activate effective learning in
children. Aim of the teaching is to not only facilitate the information to the children but also to
maintain their social culture with others as to learn healthy habits from others (Sweeney, 2021).
Teaching also involves children parents as to maintaining the consistency fo health
learning in schools as their home as well. However, the philosophy suggest that educator while
providing the learning must also incorporate to being a impressive learned where they have a
open belief to respect children thought and opinion in learning. While incorporating the teaching,
educator must need to modulate their base timely to facilitate the eagerness in children to
experience the learning through advance resources. Teaching facilitates the teacher growth in
consistent and productive manner while facilitating them the approach to enhance their opinion
openly in care setting. Teaching support the children in imparting the knowledge in effective
manner while providing them accurate base to accelerate the effective decision-making approach
in forthcoming condition. Teacher provide emotional support to student in effective manner as
they play the embraced role in facilitate the learning in effective manner. They provide student
the direction to progress their learning in effective manner (Ho, 2019).
CONCLUSION

influence the action in either productive or destructive manner. It supports the individuals to
guide their own thoughts, emotions and actions in the productive manner to adapt the
forthcoming experiences in thoughtful manner. Report also recount the importance of
documentation and assessment in the early educator learning. Effective documentation helps in
giving the right data of individual child about their learning progress in care setting which assist
