Little Learner Observation Form for Ages 2–5

Use this printable observation form to capture a young child’s learning during everyday routines and play. The form provides space for the child’s name and date, setting or routine, a brief factual example of what the child did or said, demonstrated skills, and teacher notes with a possible next step. It also suggests skills to consider—including communication, social interaction, problem-solving, motor skills, and independence—and reminds educators to record observations rather than judgments. Complete a separate form for each observation to support thoughtful documentation and planning for children ages 2–5.
