Capturing Curiosity: The Floorbook Approach for Infants and Toddlers

A guide to observation, documentation and responsive planning

Available late December 2026

Infants and toddlers are natural explorers, communicating through movement, play, relationships and repeated patterns of thinking long before they can express themselves in words. Capturing Curiosity – The Floorbook Approach® for Infants and Toddlers demonstrates how the Floorbook Approach® can help educators slow down, observe more deeply and create meaningful documentation that truly reflects the voices, interests and learning journeys of children from birth to three.

Combining child development, responsive pedagogy and practical strategies, this book explores the essential role of the adult as observer, listener, co-researcher and reflective practitioner. Through real-life examples and inspiring ideas, you will learn how to recognise children’s fascinations, follow their threads of thinking, engage families as partners and transform everyday moments into rich opportunities for inquiry and learning.

Whether you are discovering the Floorbook Approach for the first time or extending your existing practice, this hands-on guide will help you build a culture of curiosity where children’s ideas shape the curriculum, documentation becomes purposeful, and learning is celebrated as a shared journey.
