Portfolios

At Meeting House, we believe children learn through their play. Teachers carefully plan activities using appealing materials, with underlying goals for each child’s development.

The goals children work on through their play are based on the City of Madison Early Learning Standards and the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards.

Meeting House staff create a portfolio for each child that demonstrates progress with these developmentally appropriate learning standards.

Teachers gather evidence by taking pictures of students at play and record verbal explanations from children that describe how they are playing or what is happening in that moment.

At the end of the year, families will receive an electronic version of their child’s portfolio through the Kaymbu App.

Parents and children are able to take a look back at the development made during the year with feelings of accomplishment and pride.
