A vasu discussion (ECEC plan discussion or meeting) is always confidential, and families are welcome to ask any questions they may have about their child’s development, situation, or early childhood education.
Here is an example of how a vasu discussion typically proceeds at a Pilke daycare center:
- Introduction round: The discussion begins with brief introductions.
- Family and child updates: The family shares how things are going, and the child’s strengths, interests, and needs are discussed.
- Setting goals: Together, we set 1–3 concrete goals for the child’s everyday life in early childhood education. We also agree on the actions and methods to support reaching those goals.
- Support and other considerations: We talk about any additional needs related to the child’s development and learning, as well as any other important matters to consider.
- Spring review: In the spring, we hold a follow-up discussion to review how the goals have been met and celebrate progress. If something still needs work, we agree on how to move forward.
After the discussion, the early childhood education teacher documents the agreed points in the child’s vasu, and the parents receive a copy to review.
