This article explores pedagogical documentation as a situated and speculative practice in early childhood education. Drawing on philosophical concepts including Heidegger’s Dasein, Deleuze and Guattari’s becoming-minoritarian, and the idea of decentering the child, the paper examines how documentation shapes educators’ pedagogical thinking and relational ethics.
