Rachael Smart ECE 331 May 7, 2022 Mastery Problem 3 In my infant care facility for ages 12-24 months, I would set up my play area with mounted shelves for storage that are secure enough to pull shelf up to standing with without harming the child. These shelves will have a different type of toys stored in the bins. The shelves will not be more than two feet tall. The toys will be animals, cars, soft blocks, dolls, figurines, ect. There will be a library area with age-appropriate books and large pads and pillows for the children to sit and flip through the books. To the left of that will be imagination play with a toy kitchen set up. A little stove, fridge, sink, and toddler table with two chairs. There will be ordinary items in there to play with. Wisk, plastic utensil, cups, plates, and bowls. To the right of the library, I will have a section with a variety of puzzles to play with. For older infants I will have a writing desk near the check in area. Similar to figure 11.9 (Fong pg. 129) There will be paper, pencils, crayons, ect. There will be “Pathways to, not through, the play’ (Fong pg 131). That gives infants space to crawl and walk. Next to the imagination play will be an area of sensory play to include seclusion. There will be different textures to explore, and toys to play with. Next to the sensory area will be a music section, and a place to explore sound. At the arrival area there will be a sign in area with the sign in sheet, and pens. That will be right by the door. This is where goodbyes and pick up will happen. Health checks will be performed then. The play area will be off to the right. In the middle of the room will be a nap area. Pillows, blankets, and mats will be provided for those who wish to take. To the left will be the eating and kitchen area. Low tables and cube chairs are provided for caregiver and older toddlers to eat at. There are a few highchairs for the younger toddlers to eat at as well. The diapering area is located next to the bathroom which is next to the check in and check out area. That way the diaper area is located out of traffic and in view of the play area. There will be a couple changing counters. There will be a storage area within reach of the changing table. The items in the storage will be clean diapers, disposable pad covers, cloths for cleaning and drying infant, spray bottle with disinfectant solution and cloths for wiping surfaces, Disposable bags for used items. ( Similar list on pg 145, Fong)

Task 2 : Hello families! I hope this newsletter finds you all well. This month I would like to share a little more with you about our Time-in method. Most have heard of a time- out. Just removing the child from a situation that is causing them to have an issue. With time-in we can guide everyone to learning how to resolve their conflicts. They learn how to interact with peers, and others in more than just having a fit or saying no. By not removing the child we teach them how to respond. They are given the opportunity to grow. They gain the opportunity to work through their feelings. They gain a since of understanding and we can set the foundation of our expectations. Time-out is a means of discipline and gives less of an opportunity to learn. There are many tools to help with a guide for a time-in. We find a higher success rate for children to resolve their own conflict with the time-in method then those who just get a time-out. We will happily provide some supporting text for you to read upon request. The text book Teaching and Learning with Infants and Toddlers Where Meaning-Making Begins by Mary Jane Maguire-Fong is an excellent source. “Removing the child from the very situation that the child is trying to figure out defeats the goal of having the child learn how to resolve the situation’ (Fong pg. 154) Task 3 : High quality care is care that stimulates the child. It is a safe and loving place to be. A place to grow physically and emotionally. It has a clean environment. The benefits would be the child truly thriving. They may even get excited to go to their care facility. Children learn competences of self-regulation, flexibility, focus, motor skills, and emotional skills. There should be a low turnover for teachers and support staff. Teachers should have a focus on the child and their individual needs to grow and thrive. Like the book states on pg 160 ‘Compensation- appropriate teacher qualifications tied to fair compensation’ unfortunately like the text suggest here in the US our caregivers are not appropriately compensated for such an important task. Above all it’s about the child. Making sure they are safe, nurtured, loved, and educated. To be an intentional teacher would be to be adaptable. It is nice to be organized and have a plan. But, as children grow so do their goals, and their education should grow and expand as they do. It is important to be knowledgeable and access each child and adapt their plans as they learn. An intentional teacher builds a relationship with each student. Children don’t want to learn from someone
