6. Organize enrichment activities—such as art, crafts, music, sports, science experiments, public speaking, and calligraphy—based on the child’s natural talents;
7. Maintain a child development portfolio, documenting changes in personality, interests, learning, behavior, and emotions, and adjust the care plan periodically.
