Big Room Daycare

Elderly Day Care centers are also called as Adult Day Care Centers. Day care centers for the elderly provides care and companionship for the elderly. Adult day care centers help the family members or caregivers by giving them some free time, and by keeping the elderly in a safe environment. The main goal of adult day care centers are for improving the self esteem of the elderly and to help them to socialize with their peers.

Through interviewing Joyce I gained insight into a strong philosophy, leadership style, and how her background experiences have created the director she is today. When deciding to become a director of a daycare, there are two options: opening and owning your own center or directing an established or corporate owned daycare. While I have done much research on owning my own daycare, I have little experience about what it would be like to be the director of an established center. Financial responsibilities and budgeting are also two aspects that are important, but the level of responsibility is drastically different in each scenario. Lastly, legal and ethical responsibilities exist in either scenario as well.

At Children’s Discovery Center the daycare is split into two buildings, one building is for the children in pre-school and the second building is for infants to three year olds getting ready to start pre- school. The classroom I observe is for children 18 months to 28 months. They are about fourteen children in the class with two teachers. The way the class is set up the younger students and their two teachers share one classroom, but the teachers and their toddlers are not in the same room until lunch time and nap time. The classroom has a kitchen, reading area, girls and boys bathroom, activity tables and there is a connecting room for the children to have bible time and free play. The discovery center has three separate playgrounds for the

Thelma great job on your discussion post. I watched the video however chose to write about The Longest Daycare. In the video I watched I felt there were two main points one being bullying and the other placing people in a category based on their intelligence. Bullying we all know is huge epidemic that needs to be address. We often tend to look the other way as some of us are not comfortable with confrontation however we need to speak up for those that do not have a voice to do so. By placing people in groups based on intelligence is wrong. We need to understand that people have different ways of learning and some people may be slower at learning than others. This could be because they do not understand the material or they may have a learning

The second request is for a change in the loan parameters for Wee Little Daycare. As a result of the delay between the original approval and the actual closing date, the aggregate loan amount decreased from $874,000 to $726.200. The decision was made to decrease the loan amortization from 4 years to 3 years resulting in a slight improvement of the DSC and a reduction in the LTV to 74.4%. This resulted in more favorable terms and eliminated the original LTV policy

Have you ever thought why won’t the schools develop daycare programs at the school? The daycare center at the school for young teen mothers who dropout of school to start their career early without furthering their education and young teen fathers won’t feel the need to drop out to get a job and support his child. There are some on site daycare’s in some states but there’s just a few, there needs to be more. Although having on site daycare center has some bad to it, to others it has some good to it like teen parents feeling of security can be satisfied knowing that their child is in a safe place, create more jobs, and teens save up money and welfare won’t be an option.

Adult day cares have not received the acclaim due. They are an invaluable part of the communities that they serve. They incorporate succinct mission statements to effectively get their point across while also employing a wide range of professionals to better serve their clientele. The utilize needs based assessment tools for enrollment as well as needs assessment surveys to gather information from the surrounding community. The chain of command is laid out so that ethical guidelines can easily be established and appropriately enforced. They also referrals to agencies better equipped to handle particular situations in order to better serve

I believe that in order to have a nice running daycare I am going to have to work on telling people no. No matter how much it hurts in side in order for me to be successful I am going to have to open my mouth and speak on what I believe is right. So for now on I am willing to work on this. If I don’t feel like doing something for someone or if someone wants something done at last min I am going to work on telling them no maybe next time I can help if you tell me in advance or

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.

My interviewee is a close friend of mine, she is a Curtin university student, as well as working at a daycare center. Her job involves working with children from 0-3 years of age. She provides care and guidance for children as well as teaching kids primary and essential knowledge from young age. She deals with all types of children and she observes the children’s behaviors on daily basis, as this is a important role for her job. In the past she has spent time observing specifically autistic children, she explained how fascinating she found autistic children, and that she would like to learn more about their condition. She explained how often she has to try harder to explain simple things to autistic children, by repeating herself several times, showing him/her examples of her instructions. She also told me how as soon as autistic children understand her instruction, follow her rules to the best of their ability, often doing an excellent job. She said that its as almost if these children are adults, for example when she tells children “it is home time, time to put away all the toys”. Autistic children put the toys exactly where they got them from often in an organized manner. After that I asked her if she is interested in knowing more about autism. she explained her knowledge of autism is limited and that she would like to know why autistic children, have an excellent performance in areas such as, music, art, math and perform poorly in other areas such as,

For the collaboration portion of my project I chose to collaborate with the daycare director and 10 parents of the children who attend the daycare. The role of the director was to inform me and help me to better understand how their policies work and how they respond to policy change. The parent’s role in this collaboration process included giving me feedback and ideas on what changes they would like to see and what they already like about the current policy. In order to obtain the information I needed for this project, I met with the director and parents of the children on many different occasions to observe and interview the parents and staff members. Also when meeting with the director and parents we discussed my observations and ideas that

Infant-toddler centers are about more than just feeding, changing and sleeping. There are many reasons why quality infant-toddler care and education are vital to children’s healthy development and learning. 61% of children are in childcare at a time where the brain is developing based on their environment (Laureate Education, 2008). Quality care promotes peer relationships by giving infants and toddlers access to environments and opportunities for socialization, problem-solving, empathy building, sharing, and relating (Gonzalez-Mena & Widmeyer Eyer, 2015). We also meet the needs of infants and toddlers cognitive, language, and social and emotional development through being relationships and responsive caregivers.

According to Cook Children’s Hospital, the Kid Center webpage provides information for parents and children to learn about their bodies and how to stay healthy (Cook Children's Health Care System, 2018). The Kid Center presents literature that addresses the parents and children to gain a better understanding of children’s health and wellness, along with a topic of school-age children’s issues. An example of children’s issues at school includes school work and bullying. The “Kid Center” web page at Cooks Children’s Hospital identifies the target population as parents of grade-schoolers and grade schools (Cook Children's Health Care System, 2018). According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (2018), grade-schoolers

When you require the services of a day-care centre to care for your child, you need to find one that provides quality care to children throughout the day. To ensure that the child care centre you select is reliable, there are certain factors to look for to determine it is the right for your child. We provide you a list of these factors here in this information.

During the early childhood period, environments should be organized to promote motor development. During toddlerhood the environment should be organized to allow the toddler space to explore and move. Confining the child to a limited space such as a playpen could result in a delay in their large motor skills. (Charlesworth, 2004) The environment for the preschooler should be conducive to learning these skills. Adequate outdoor play time should be allotted for the children to have the opportunity to run, jump, throw balls, and other activities to strengthen the large muscles.
