My Observation At Oakwood Methodist Preschool

I got an appointment for observation on July 13 at De-Anza Child Development Center. I chose room No. 26 for observation. I observed one child from 3:26 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. There are total 10 children present in room no.26 at the time of my observation. Out of 10 there are 4 girls and 6 boys. They range from 3 to 5 years of age. There are three adults in the room, all are female. One adult for every 3 children- 1:3. When I entered kids are doing free play. I settled myself and started to observe a kid named Aaron. He is around 3 and half years of age.

I conducted my observation of young children assignment at the Learning and Play Preschool and Daycare. Learn and Play is located in Michigan. Their slogan is “Where We Cherish Your Children.” Their program offers child care with a preschool experience that helps build each child’s self-esteem and prepares them for school. Lean and Play strives to aid in a child’s overall development through nurturing, positive guidance, developmentally appropriate practice and play. They believe that a child’s desire to learn is heightened when incorporated through play and the use of creative arts. They have learning centers in each classroom that are set up to focus on all of the areas of a child’s development. They

Setting : Observation took place in a classroom of Richmond Preschool . There were 18 children who are 4 years old, 3 ECE teachers and 1 volunteer during this observation.

I did my observation in a daycare Teddy Bear, the day care has a two toddlers classrooms today a was observation one of them, in the classroom have seven children the age 15 months, and the teacher and assistant, and the wall they have the routine for the day.

For the preschool playroom we want to build upon and encourage more skill development and socialization. This age group is moving away from believing they are the center of the world and into realization of others. We want to inspire initiation collaboration with others. We want to improve intellectual stimulation and expand upon make believe play. This can be accomplished through sociodramatic play. We also want toys that will improve upon language skills.

Setting: I would make observations during inside play time when there are toys around the infant's that they will want to get ahold of.

During these first couple of years, they begin building brain structures that will support learning, and develop the physical abilities they will need to be mobile and independent throughout their life. As I am finishing off this semester in my Early Childhood Observation Class, I can easily spot, identify and understand children’s unique developmental patterns and needs. Now that I have a full understanding of a child’s development, it makes it easier to identify children who may not be progressing as well as they

The children observed were found at the children’s center located on the California State University in Sacramento. The children’s center is a day care/preschool for children ranging in ages from 6 months to 5 years old. The researchers focused on preschool aged children (3-5 years old). All participants in this study will be assigned labels of target 1, target 2 and so forth. The group observed was made up of 3 boys and 2 girls, as well as their childcare giver. The childcare giver will be referred to as Adult. Adult was a woman around the age of 50 with a degree in child development and early childcare. The setting of the observation was in one of the many classrooms the children’s center provides. The classroom was large with around 15

On March 19, 2016, I had the opportunity to observe the physical, cognitive, and social development of Harper, a 3 year old girl. The observations were conducted at Building Blocks Daycare Center, Brandon, Iowa and the infant’s parents consented to participate in the live observations.

Mrs. LaToyia Lewis holds a Bachelor’s degree in in early childhood development. Although she did not continue on to receive her master’s degree she feels she is an expert in early childhood development due to her many years of experience working in the field. Ms. Lewis has worked with children of all ages from infants to teens. She says that she has learned a lot about children during this time, but due to the many differences of each child she is continuing to learn new concepts and theories every day. Mrs. Lewis had some exciting stories to share about her experience with children and their families. Although she was very open about what she had witnessed she was very cautious not to reveal the identity of her

This paper is a report of experiment and observation conducted by this writer Shelly Harryman. The date and time of observation was November 9, 2017, between the hours of 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm. The subject 's name is in the experiment are Deegan Harryman, who is a 6-year-old and Jay Harris, who is is a 10-year-old. The following information will provide a detailed analysis of the what cognitive developmental stage each child is in and why those levels determine the response each child gives. The information in this paper will reflect my personal observation and refer to the text Development Through the Lifespan by Laura Berk 2014.

In this assignment I am going to describe a child observation that I have done in a nursery for twenty minutes in a play setting. I will explain the strengths and weaknesses of naturalistic observation through the key developmental milestones based in Mary Sheridan (2005) check-list and provide a theoretical explanation to support the naturalistic observation.

This observation took place September 26, 2014 at a daycare in Homestead. A friend of mine is a teacher at “My Little Angels” and while waiting for her, I sat down to watch some children playing. There were many kids to do the observation on, but a little girl playing kitchen set caught my eye. I started watching her from 2:00pm to 2:33pm. It is fascinating what kids do and what we can find out about their behavior by watching them for just thirty minutes.

On February 22nd, a fifteen-minute observation was conducted in toddler room of the Buffalo State Child Care Center. The children in the room were approximately 3 years of age.

I completed my Infant – Toddler Observation on Wednesday the 16th between 8am - 10:30am and Friday the 18th of March between noon – 3pm. I felt it was necessary to visit Lily twice as she was very shy and non- responsive on my first visit. On my first visit I arrived at 8am to find Lily sitting in the corner facing the wall paging through a book as if she was reading. There were 10 children ranging in ages 21 months to 48 months in one room approximately 10x12. There were two book cases and a wooden doll house all three items were up against the wall allowing the children to have the center of the room to play. Books were available for the children to look through, there were some cars, blocks and dolls for the children to play with if they wanted to. There was a rocking chair for the teacher to sit in whenever they were not involved with the children. There were two teachers’ as state laws require 1 teacher/ 5 toddler ratio and there were 5 toddlers ranging between 21 months and 32 months. At 8:30am we preceded to move all five toddlers ages 21 months to 32 months into another room about 10x10. In this room there was a bookshelf that contained numerous books for the toddlers to look through some fisher price toys that were age appropriate for this group of children to use. A sink with an attached counter for changing the toddlers on, two cribs against the wall, a potty- training seat on the floor and a small table about a foot off the ground for the toddlers
