This artifact is my Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ). I developed this ASQ by visiting a child care facility two hours out my day. While at the learning center I choose one child to observe. And that child was a six month old African American boy whom was full of smiling, energy and very bright for his age. However I observed the older infant in his comfortable learning environment, in the infant’s program at the facility. I focused close attention to his every movement, to the sounds he made, to his reaction as he engaged with his primary caregiver. I took anecdotal notes on the older infant, as he explored the world around him. All the anecdotal notes that were taken told a story about child personality and his development milestone. My professional growth in the Early Childhood field taught me not to give my personal assumption while taking the anecdotal notes, but record only what I see from the child action and monthly development. Nevertheless I understand the goal and the benefit of how to properly do an evaluation on children development. This artifact helped me meet standard 3 from NAEYC, because I was able to get accurate documentation on the child that made the mother of the child were happy and relieve that her child was overall happy, and properly developing with his age milestone.
