In the preschool years, guidance starts with observing the child and involving the family. This page has documents for kindergarten and nursery class teachers and for counsellors working in preschool settings.

There are family involvement activities and sample activities for every month from September to May. For observation and assessment there are an anecdotal record form, a systematic observation form, a play observation form, a developmental checklist and a learning outcome assessment form.

Appendices for the official running of preschool institutions, such as an enrolment form, an emergency contact form, an attendance chart and a sample development report, are also included, together with information notes for parents on what to expect at each age, choosing toys and warning-sign behaviours.
