Child Care Observation

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

- Discussions and teaching sessions of children washing their hand prior to meals, and after the toilet.

Although they understand wiping and cleaning after using the bathroom, hand hygiene may need to still be reinforced.

Thank you for the wishes. Your presentation looks very professional. However, I was unsure to whom the presentation was aimed to: general population, researchers, or grant provider. Nevertheless, it gives the impression that it is directed to researchers. I have a suggestion: slides should provide a more broad idea or information. Is in the footnotes where you provide more detail about the slide. I also consider that if stats were presented individually with a dramatic picture, would be more striking (see attachment). However, the statistics shown in your presentation are compelling and strengthen the message of carrying further research for developing more interventions for children in foster care. I wish you the best of success in your career

There were many Black males from the ages 18+ that were taking the information and were easy to communicate with. Based on what my group did the majority of the bags we gave out was to Black males. When it came to testing, I noticed that the majority that got tested were Black women even with incentives being given. This told me that there are many men having sex, but not many who know their status. That being my opinion, and not a fact based on my observation. Based on what I observed women are more likely to get tested and take care of their health than men.

Standard #3: Observing, documenting and assessing to support young children and families. Q1.-In your opinion what are some important uses of assessment? Why do we need to assess?

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. North West Childcare Centre is one of many daycares that believes in giving children a safe and encouraging environment to grow up in with nurturing staff, that get s the boys and girls prepared for pre-school both mentally and academically. North West Childcare Centre openly welcomes all infants and toddlers from the age of 12 months to five years. The children are divided into three different classroom based on age.

Observation is very important in young children because that is how you get to know a child better. While observing how a child interacts with their peers, adults, and how they behave in different settings, you are getting to know the child without speaking to them.

Early childhood teachers should be a role model to model hygienic practices such as thorough handwashing and drying and using serving utensils to handle food to support toddlers’ hygiene (Tansey, 2009).

There was notably better adherence to hand hygiene in the dining hall when the staff provided a visual and verbal cue, such as: “Here, (name), wipe your hands” or “This is to wash your hands” as they handed the residents the wipes. Verbal cues for respiratory hygiene included, “Cover your mouth.”

The three parent child observations that have been documented will be analyzed using knowledge from class material and with peer-reviewed articles. Support will be given to show the connection between the articles, the class material, and to each observation. Each observation took place in a different location and each supporting article discusses how the actions of the parent and child relate to different aspects of a parent child relationship.
