How to create observations on Daily Connect (Ipad version)

Observations let teachers document and assess each child’s development against your center’s learning framework. Every observation is saved to the child’s profile, and you decide when families see it: share it with parents right away, or keep it private and include it later in an Observations Report. Many centers share these reports at the end of each quarter (or another regular interval) to give families a clear picture of their child’s growth over time.

1. Log in to your teacher account.
