In order to comply with your home state regulations, you will require a larger facility and will need to hire additional staff in order to sustain the larger demand for day care. This staff will consist of five (5) Certified Day Care Professionals, one (1) Registered Nurse Professional, five (5) After-School Assistants and one (1) Office Support Paraprofessional. You have secured approval for a bank loan and qualify for future loans for future expansion if your current endeavor is successful.

I feel my room design that I created myself, offers the most learning with the given space. Learning centers are set up around the perimeter of the room with an open floor plan for the center of the room. This allows for free movement of the children. The learning centers offer independent play, creativity, imagination, cause and effect play, independent learning, open ended toys in a safe, clean environment that also offers lots of exploring options. I believe children learn best when the childcare space is well organized, offers lots of different options for the children, with clear rules and boundaries set. My program is play based so I believe children need lots of play in their day; child and adult lead

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.

I am currently an owner/ director of a childcare center. God’s Individuals (Gigi’s) Clubhouse is the name of the childcare. The childcare operated out of my home. Running a childcare center consist of making decision as a manger and a leader. The childcare consists of 27 children as of now.

In general, the first operational year of any business can be stressful and a bit perplexing. In most circumstances, the first year for any new daycare center will be a period of low enrollment. This means we may be facing insufficient income to meet your expenses. Yet, the budget had not taken into consideration any potential loss in the income that might happen. Nevertheless, according to the loss scenario, we face a significant loss in the income about 44,740$ less than the anticipated income, which causing a shortage in the budget about 18,452$ less than the anticipated spending. Eventually, this shortage in the income would certainly has a significant effect on the cash flow for the rest of the year. Indeed, if the administrator does not

The costs of this expansion will mostly go toward labor, as labor is the single largest component of costs for early infant and toddler care centers (Marshall et al., 2004). For teachers to stay invested in the children they teach and care for, they must be fairly compensated to maintain the high quality of care. According to a study in Massachusetts, 72 percent of typical full-time, full-year center expenditures go toward labor (Marshall, et al., 2004). In dollar amounts, “average expenditures per child care hour were $4.42 for centers serving infants and $4.28 for centers serving toddlers. These correspond to full-time care expenditures of $10,343 and $10,015 for the two groups of centers [infants and toddlers, respectively]”

The block/dramatic play area will be located in the corner of the room by the window to let natural light in the play area, as the children run around with each other carpet will be used to reduce the noise level. The Manipulatives area will be in the corner located by the wall art display this area of the classroom will also be located by the window for natural light to shine in and the student’s artwork to stand out. Easy accessible materials, supplies and miscellaneous items will be saved in a storage cabinet such as smocks, paintbrushes, watercolors, paper plates, tissues, pencils, first aid kits this will all be within the child’s reach to encourage independence. I will have an accessible wall of the students wall art to be displayed. The students will be able to hang up their own artwork at a reachable

Kindergarten classroom of 25 students they all sit at tables that will hold up to six students, however I have them sitting 5 to a table for ease of grouping. Each table is a team labeled by a color, a large construction paper crayon hangs from the ceiling above each table, and they have matching crayon nametags on their desks. There is a Smart Board at the front of the classroom as well as a white board. My desk is at the front of the room to the right of the white board.

The room also has a single restroom and a sink and water fountain outside of the restroom. We also have circle area to the left of the reading corner

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 would want the posters on the wall to either be of the kids art work or of their families and homelife. I would want to make the classroom as child based as possible. I would make sure all the toys are age appropriate, if they're infiant to toddlers I'd give them toys that are more based around developing their fine motor skills, older children I would give them more toys that they have to think while playing with to help them develop cognatively. I would want the craft area to be well stocked with
