BADOK Written educational and work documentation

We use this form of documentation throughout the kindergarten to observe the children's development and reflect on the educational work. The BADOK helps us to pursue our educational work and to cover all areas of the educational framework plan in a targeted manner.

We use the BADOK because it...

... is geared towards the individual child

... focuses on the strengths and resources of each child

... offers transparency for children and parents through the portfolio. This essential part of the BADOK can be viewed at any time or taken home after consultation with the teacher.

Parents are also offered a development discussion once a year, during which the BADOK portfolio is discussed, among other things. Children are involved in the portfolio work by actively helping to shape the contributions. They can cut out their own photos, paste them in, or use a picture to tell what they did on them. They are motivated to get involved and help shape their own learning process. This strengthens their self-confidence and increases their self-esteem. Last but not least, communication skills and motor skills are also promoted through active participation.
