Case Study Wee Little Daycare

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.

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

The place of observation took place at my work, before I clocked in for the day. I work at Oakwood Methodist Preschool/Daycare. I went in to the daycare at about 9:00, which is just free play/ breakfast time in the infant room. The infant room I observed in was a little different than the CDRC, because the infant room is from 7 weeks old to 18 months old. There was not really a place for me to be

According to psychology human beings do not develop long term memory until the ages of 3-4. I however remember specifically only picture moments from those years. I know that during that age I was attending Top Kids Academy an American daycare owned and principled by my mother Roselene Guex. The very few glimpse and memories that I have are a dodgeball hitting me in the face and riding a tricycle down a hallway. The things I have learned from that daycare however, still stay with me till this day including how to write, read, and even know words of English. Daycares are nonexistent in many countries including in Haiti even frowned upon. So my main question coming into this how the American daycare micro culture has shape our culture

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.

The three programs I chose to analyze were the transportation program, the Day Away program, and the Stepping on program.

We went to visit Immanuel Baptist Daycare which is located in Hannibal, MO on March 23, 2016. Linda Youse is the director at Immanuel and she was able to take time and answer questions that we had for her and give us a tour of the facility. This year is Linda’s 8th year as the director of Immanuel Baptist Daycare. She also has an education degree where she can teach from Kindergarten to eighth grade. During the time where we asked her questions, she was able to give an answer to all and explain them to us. At Immanuel, their number one job is to make sure all the children are safe.

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

Thank you for contacting the Governor’s Advocacy Office regarding if the ERDC program can cover daycare costs while someone is looking/interviewing for potential jobs.

A fulfilling place to raise your knowledge and understanding of pre-school children and infants is a daycare. Observing a daycare gives you an insight at how these toddlers behave and act when going through the many different situations in the daycare.

In conclusion, I decided to do this particular topic because of personal experience. I observed a daycare facility; the teacher had a child that was not able to digest food items like a typical child. The child was three years old. She was feeding in a feeding tube. The teacher in the class room was not able to work the machine so the child can eat. All the children in the center finished eating besides the child. The teacher had to go to classroom to classroom to receive
