Examples Of Early Childhood Education Observation

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

Within my ten hours of observation, I witnessed an Early Childhood, Childhood, and Middle Childhood classroom. Through the duration of these hours, I visited School 17 and School 30. My seven hours at School 17 consisted of experiences within an Early Childhood and a Childhood setting. The Early Childhood hours occurred in a Pre-Kindergarten classroom setting with Ms. Mitrakos. The Childhood observations occurred in a first-grade classroom with Ms. Hordan. My three hours at School 30 involved experiences within a Middle Childhood setting. These observation hours occurred in a 6th-grade math class. My observations within both schools inspired me to continue my passion for Early Childhood Education.

Based on my observation I noticed that the children were talked to in a respectful manner, they were asked various questions. York (2003) stated, “Children are naturally curios they base their ideas on appearance” (p, 28). The children freely explored their environment. The teacher were prepared and engaged with the children. The children were offered choices. The program was developmentally appropriate and encouraged human diversity. The areas were adequately arranged and were anti-bias. There was a great amount of diverse pictures in the classroom. The work of the children was different and you could tell that it was their creation.

The child I observed was a four year old boy. My Child's weight is 39.6 pounds. His height is 42.1 inches. My child lands on the 75 percentile. The child's body mass is 15.62. He landed on the 50 percentile for his body mass. My child's height, weight and body mass is a typical for a four year old.

For each shelf, center, table, chair and anything that can hold a label, I would like to have it label with a little clip art picture on it. For the chairs around the eating tables, which are rectangular, I would like to have the children's name printed on them. That way the children know what is there chair and they see their name each time they want to sit on it. I believe that it is very important for children to associate the letters in the word with the actual object. Such as associating the letters S.I.N.K with the actual sink.

I have talked to the classroom teacher about three similarities between activity transitions in the learning environment for infants and toddlers compared to children 3- to 5-years-old the teacher said that parents, childcare teachers, teachers need to teach children when they are they are still infants to help prepare them for their life when they grow up. Teacher and parents need to have schedule for infants and toddlers for feeding, sleeping,and playtime so that they can learn so that they can become to depend on their own (Honig, 2002). Teachers can have mobiles on cribs or on things so that they infants can listen to the play music, or the teacher can have toys that can sing to the infants and toddlers to help them develop

The pre-observation conference was held with the Health Care Cluster (HCC) instructor on September 10, 2015. The instructor is a twelve year veteran and has taught HCC at the Lancaster County Career & Technology Center (LCCTC) for all of those years with two years at the Brownstown campus and ten years at the Mount Joy campus. Before becoming a teacher she was employed in the medical field as a nurse, staff educator, and manager at hospitals in the Lancaster area. She has earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and has her Vocational II Teacher Certification.

The teachers in this class show that they care about the children, and the children are in a very good environment.

The center in which I am conducting observations at is the Metro Gateway Child Development Center. The director of the center is Kelly Magallanes and the assistant director is Kristen Krauss. The child development center serves about seventy students; public center. I will be assessing the toddler room for the ITERS observation; the lead teacher of the classroom is Ms. Rose and the assistant teacher is Ms. Sonia. There are eight toddlers in total.

The early childhood site I observed at is Associated Students Inc Children’s Center. It is a site catered to preschool children. It is located in the city of Sacramento, the capital city of the United States and state of California. This particular community that surrounds the site is a suburban area. It is a culturally diverse area with ethnicity ranging from Caucasian, Latino, Asian American, African American, Pacific Islander and other multiracial ethnicities.

My observation was at Lincoln Elementary School, located at 221 Cross Street, Harrison, New Jersey. I observed an atypical child in the Kindergarten Inclusion Classroom, in which had a teacher aide Collen Sawyer, a general teacher, and a teacher aide assistant. The classroom has seven students with special needs participating in a Least Restrictive Environment with 14 students without disabilities. The classroom was ample with reading area, dramatic area, science area, manipulative area, writing and art area, and the area with a border and projector for the teacher interact with the whole-group, it also had a bathroom inside the classroom, which the teachers could keep eye on them.

On November 18 at 10:30 AM I had agreed with Alicia’s teacher to let me in the classroom for just about 20 minutes so I could observe her for my early childhood education class. I told her that I wouldn’t be using the real child’s name and that I was just going to observe her movements and what she did while in school. As soon as I came in the classroom I saw the classroom full of colors like pink, green, red, orange, yellow and much more. The classroom was also full of bulletin boards about the season and about the latest holiday witch in that time was Thanksgiving. and pictures of the children and their families that were places in front of their cubbies. I also saw different types of books like "The very hungry caterpillar" and "The five

The program I chose to visit was a child care center at Garrett LLC. For Learning & Growth, located at 1929 S Archer Ave, Chicago, IL 60616. The classroom that I observed was an infant classroom, which children’s age between six weeks to one-year-old. The demographic in this small infant classroom was five children, with a ratio of three white boys to two black girls. There was only one six weeks’ infant baby girl in this classroom with a special need such as a need to drink her mother’s breast milk, which her mother already prepared every day six bottles of breast milk for the classroom.

The preschool that I observed is the Twelfth Baptist Church. The school has an outdoor playground surrounded by fence and has a gate. The playground is a grass floor and there are two plays' equipment with thick outdoor rubber flooring. The teacher went with children and they took a back bag with them, I asked her why she took this bag and what is inside it? She told me this is like an emergency bag it has tissue, plastics bandage and first aid materials for the kids and we cannot go out to outdoor playground without it. The teacher divided the children to three groups, kindergarteners 2 and some from kindergarteners 1 to play some race and running games and the rest of the children can play on the games then they will change. On one of the
