These two chapters go hand in hand when opening or starting a center. It also have ideas of what needs to be discussed continually as a child care center is in operation. Of these two chapters, chapter 5 discusses the budgeting portion while chapter 6 focuses more on the funding of a program. Throughout the two chapters, there were a few things that I didn’t not know. In chapter 5, the thing that I didn’t not know was that money that is handled throughout the program must go through at least two people. One person is in charge of receiving and recording the funds while a second person is responsible for depositing and recording the deposits of the funds. Even though I didn’t not know about this policy that must be in place at centers, …show more content…
In chapter 5, I really enjoyed reading about managing a payroll. At my current place of employment, I remember at my orientation people discussing payroll. Something that seems so simple is more complex than I originally thought. It actually takes time for someone to go through all employees’ time cards and then process them so that employees are paid when they are supposed to be. Depending on the company, a director may make the employee in charge of inputting sick leave or vacation time. These concepts are also a part of managing a payroll. I’ve always wondered why payroll is always cut off almost five days before pay day, and after reading this, it’s because of the process it takes to control and manage the payroll. If I ever got the chance, I think it would interesting to see how to run a payroll of a center or any business in general. In chapter 6, I enjoyed reading about the different kinds of funds. These funds can be as simple as the tuition that is set for families and children of the center to scholarships and fundraising. As I read about the tuition, it brought me back to the excel document that was provided as an additional supplement for this class. I feel that tuition is another major component that can make or break a center. I feel it is important that as a director to make sure to understand the community to see how much tuition should be for families/children. It is
Children are encouraged to communicate their needs, feelings and thoughts. They are given opportunities to choose and use reading materials.
To help children advance physical and intellectual competence as a childcare provider you should always find ways to incorporate fun aspects into learning. This can be established through the use of technology. Technology as we all may know is something that we use daily. It makes finding out information simple, easy and accessible for little kids with the help of a parent. Websites such as Star fall and ABCYA are two sites that offer children a fun and easy to access source of learning that they can do at home or on the go. Through the use of technology we can help our children excel and develop cognitively as well as use computers and other gadgets in an engaging way.

Child Advocacy Center development has been closely related to the approaches we have been introduced to in this course. Creating protocols for community impact, sustainability and growth have all occurred as this Child Advocacy has developed in my community. In my work it is very important to keep the families and victims we serve at the forefront of our decision making. Each policy, program and renovation is made with how it will impact the families we serve over how it will benefit us. Our program has followed the Principles of Good Practice at times and failed to follow them also. Each program/project has a little of this I believe. In this paper, I will go through each principle and identify how the CAC program has met the standard or identify
The age range in the center is six weeks to age 12, however, they do have a preschool and kindergarten program. Once children are school age they have a before and after school care program. Her view is that the center is not simply a place for babysitting. No matter the age, each classroom teacher must have a lesson plan in place for each day and they follow a schedule as well. The lesson plans need to be filled with educational aspects, activities to development motor skills, and more specific activities that are tailored to the age. Family relationship building is something that is also important as a part of her
2004 saw the introduction of the free place entitlement for places at education centres for all children in the UK aged 3-4. The hours that the children were entitled to were then extended from 12 hours a week to15 hours a week for 38 weeks a year. These placements are meant to provide access to early childhood education and care, to make sure that every child has the opportunity. The hours being extended also means that parents and care givers have the opportunity to develop their career further being able to access continued professional learning and development. There are different types of placements available to suit individual needs for children aged up to 5 years old.

As I become older, I am taking on more financial responsibilities as well. Learning how to create and maintain a budget is not only a skill that I will use in my future career, but it is a skill I can use right now in my life. Sure, I always kept my bills paid, but I never thought to write out an actual budget. I found the idea needless and time consuming. However, after reading this chapter I learned that writing out a budget is a good way for you to visually see where your money goes. Also, on page 60 the book mentions how some child care centers are funded through charity or public funds, I imagine that these organizations will want to see where their money is going in the business they are helping to support. It is better for to get into the habit of writing out and sticking to a budget now because in the future, organizations may want to see a copy of it for their

At the beginning of my third observation at the Child Development Center, I decided to observe a three-year-old girl that I will call Cady. I chose her because of her irrepressible attitude, which shown through in all of her actions and loudly voiced opinions. Throughout the semester not only did I gain developmental information about Cady, I gained some background information as well. She is the youngest child in the CDC, having only turned three during the last semester. Not only is she the youngest child at the CDC, she is the youngest of five children at home.

This child care center flourishes with creativity. The environment is molded by family orientation and the thriving of learning. The building is red brick all the way around with black roofing. The outside has a look of professionalism and welcoming to all who enter. The flowers and shrubbery change by the season and the cleanliness of the area is inviting to all visitors. Upon coming in the front door, the warmth of the lobby is immediately comforting. The art work of the children grace the walls and the smells of the kitchen indicate the chef is at work preparing the meals of the day. All classrooms are open door and to all who wish to visit, with permission of
