sure of.
Make sure you have permission to work with the child prior to the assessment. You must give a signed

during the initial visit time.

rituals, and have developed a relationship.
 Both the parent and the supervisor will need to give you permission to work with the baby.
 Complete a Parental Permission to Observe form and obtain the necessary signatures.
 You will be supervised at all times during this assessment by a qualified early childhood educator.
