1.1 Explain The Importance Of Little Steps Nursery

Every child is an individual – with different needs depending on their age and abilities. You must think about this when planning activities.

The Kids Learning Centre is a privately-owned day care facility and non-formal educational institution for children up to 12 years old. It is located at the heart of the City of Downtown, just behind The Business Building, a convenient place where parents and guardians can drop off their children safely. It operates from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM daily, and closes only during major holidays.

When providing a healthy and safe environment both inside and outside the nursery, there are factors myself and other practitioners need to consider; individual children and any specific needs they may have, for example at my work place we a baby with Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes restricted growth, poor core muscle strength, learning difficulties, behavioural problems such as temper tantrums or stubbornness and a permanent feeling of hunger which will start between the age of 2 and 8 years old. The practitioners who work with the baby must always consider

As an early years practitioner you will recognise that children’s play is closely linked to their learning and development. Children learn in so many different ways but you will notice that they learn mainly through play. When children are able to do many different activity’s that allows them to lean but have fun at the same time thy will find what they are doing fun and will engage the children. It is important that when in you your setting you set up a variety of educational activity’s this way the children will be able to choose freely what they want to do.

Because of research Physical development is part of the three prime areas of learning in the EYFS, joining Communication and Language and Personal, Social and Emotional Development, these three areas are particularly important for the learning development of the under threes, this will Secure the foundations for future success in all aspects of their life and learning. Early year’s providers and practitioners are required to enable their environments to ensure that they are giving the children quality experiences and resources to allow them to naturally learn and develop the physical skills necessary to support them throughout their lives. At our nursery we follow the EYFS guidelines which give us the approximate age and what the child should be able to do or aiming towards and what us, as practitioners should be supporting the child to achieve or help them to move on to the next stage. Providing Physical play experiences for the children such as books to explore, messy play, painting, climbing equipment and balls and other equipment to throw, kick and catch will give the children opportunities for moving and handling.

I was able to make an appointment with a preschool program located in Glens Falls, NY, that has been in business for more than thirty-five years. I had planned to visit another location, but sadly due to their bylaws, and security I was not permitted in the classroom. The school where I did visit is a housed in a very centralized location and was formerly a home, that was transformed into a school. The building meets all New York State laws and fire regulations, as well as local safety laws required for early childhood programs. The school does have two small three-year-old rooms, as well as the larger four to early five year old program. The space is small, but well planned out to meet the needs of the

I have chosen to investigate Teeny Tots Day Nursery. This is an early years’ service and cares for children from birth to 5 years old. Parents have to pay for their children to go to Teeny Tots Day Nursery.

This room, however, is a little different for us. We originally expected to be licensed for a 3-7 year old, but that has changed. In fact, this room has changed since I've originally decorated it. Currently, we have a crib in there. I can not say too much about that yet, but just wait! I am holding on to a big secret!

Now if you can’t afford to have your child at this center then Children’s Courtyard accepts CCMS.

My youngest child who is in school is 4 this year, so when I heard there was a whole Preschool set available, I jumped at the chance to review it. In the past, I have done a hodge podge of preschool things. It’s fun, eclectic, and a little crazy, like the rest of my life. I thought it would be really fun to try the exact opposite: something organized, all

We understand that for some parents it is difficult to leave children at an unknown facility with individuals that they may not recognize. For this reason we promote parents to join our observation sessions and field trips. In addition, we recommend parents to share with us any significant life events in their children’s lives, to help make the children feel comfortable and safe. We also encourage parents to arrange meetings with our staff if they feel that there is any sort of inconveniences and

From the video provided, a child aged one and above years starts feeling independent, plays around, starts acquiring a personality and also socializes. This period requires a comfortable, safe and nurturing environment which can be provided through the following five

I recently had the opportunity to observe a 33 month old boy named Jacey in our church nursery. On this particular Sunday we had several families unable to attend worship service due to a nasty virus that has been going through our community, so Jacey was the only child in the nursery during my observation. I quickly learned that this little guy is full of energy and excitement, and also a little bit of attitude, with sticky fingers and rosy cheeks! It was clear to see that he is an adventure seeker as he explored his surroundings with eyes that appeared to be thoughtful as his curious little mind absorbed every single inflection of the words spoken by those who interacted with him – and all of this is what I observed within just the first five minutes of my time spent with Jacey. Over the course of the hour there would be squeals of joy, rambunctious play, silly faces made, as well as times of crossed arms and feet stomping in frustration. Life as a two

You have an unlimited budget for redesigning a local child care center that serves children 6 weeks to 6 years old.
