My child not in Sparkletots but during recent PTC for my #2 at her IFC. Teacher mentioned that they plan activities for two weeks atleast. This activities will consist of social emotional, sensory motor skill and language. They have to ensure the activities are being done for individual kids in order to know if the kids are developing well, progressing well. In other words they are also teaching this skills. They do take photo videos to update parents. But they dont do 100% otherwise it will be deem to some parents as "just showing" Therefore in my #2 portfolio dont have much moments/updates. Sometimes teacher would randomly do it via message or apps. This is to also ensure that the kids would do it without noticing picture/video taken. Meaning it is done not forsake of photo/video. If the kids are not progressing/developing well with this mentioned category, they would pre empt parents during PTC and therefore feedback to each other.
What do you mean by “just do for the sake of photo”? Like, for show? As a primary school teacher myself, nonono, that’s also a lot of work 🤣 So it doesn’t make much sense. But seriously, there are preschools that do that???
