Activities updated on sparkletots app

Question

A curious random question, pls do not scold or throw hate at me.A genuine question from a first time working mum, who is still new to everthing.My baby just started IFC, sparkletots. And in the app sometimes they would update in portfolio of what your LO did in “moments”. Photos of teacher reading book to them etc.Do they really do the activity (reading, painting etc) or they just do for the sake of photo and done? Cause when i was picking my son from ifc, i saw a teacher taking pic of an infant’s activity, painting bt as soon as theyre done with the pic, they take the brush from the baby’s hand and then put him down from the chair. Like for show?

My child not in Sparkletots but during recent PTC for my #2 at her IFC. Teacher mentioned that they plan activities for two weeks atleast. This activities will consist of social emotional, sensory motor skill and language. They have to ensure the activities are being done for individual kids in order to know if the kids are developing well, progressing well. In other words they are also teaching this skills. They do take photo videos to update parents. But they dont do 100% otherwise it will be deem to some parents as "just showing" Therefore in my #2 portfolio dont have much moments/updates. Sometimes teacher would randomly do it via message or apps. This is to also ensure that the kids would do it without noticing picture/video taken. Meaning it is done not forsake of photo/video. If the kids are not progressing/developing well with this mentioned category, they would pre empt parents during PTC and therefore feedback to each other.
