Play-Based Learning Observation Checklist for Ages 3–5

Use this observation page to document how children ages 3–5 approach learning during play. The checklist highlights curiosity, initiative, persistence, flexibility, and self-regulation, with space to record what the child said or did, what supported learning, and a possible next step. Educators can use it during play-based observations to capture evidence before interpreting a child's learning and plan responsive follow-up. The cover shows one toolkit page; the PDF page count was not provided.
