My Observation At The Child Development Center

During this stage, the child can engage in symbolic play, and have developed an imagination. This child may use an object to represent something else, such pretending that a broom is a horse. An important feature a child displays during this stage is egocentrism. This refers to the child’s inability to see a situation from another person’s point of view. To test whether or not children are egocentric, Piaget used the ‘Three Mountain Task’. Piaget concluded that the four-year olds thinking was egocentric, as the seven year olds was not. Children, at this stage, do not understand more complex concepts such as cause and effect, time, and comparison.

The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart. I am glad that I choose to observe Zoe because she was able to make my observation process smooth and easy. While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,

In order to create play, they must represent these activities mentally and translate them into actions. While the thinking of preoperational children is more advanced, Piaget emphasizes that children at this stage of cognitive development are still immature and are limited by egocentrism. They are all about self and perceive the world based on their own assumptions and experiences, they have difficulty relating to differences such as lighter, smaller, and softer.

In the child care center where I work, I have observed a 4-year-old boy who was diagnosed with learning disabilities. His strength is that he likes to do art. At the art table, the teacher asks the children in small group activities to draw anything while she gives them construction paper and crayons. He effectively draws her dad, mom, and sister He is describing the picture by naming each family member while the teacher writes down their name under each picture. He demonstrates a learning disposition of creativity and imagination. She shows fine motor control when using the crayon to draw the picture. She also has the ability to use different shapes to express her ideas about her family. She has shown that she is mastering the basic forms

The department of defense provides child care to military children also known as Child Development Center or CDC, these centers provide an education, safe and engaging environment that has a great influence on the early years of child hood. They aim to teach children day to day tasks according to what stage each child may be in. “Our philosophy is that children learn through play. Our highest goal is to provide a safe, healthy, caring environment that encourages growth in discipline, self-control and respect for other’s rights. This is accomplished by setting clear, consistent limits, applying logical consequences, modeling acceptable behaviors and by using mistakes as learning opportunities.” Such as in infants they are encourage to

I observed at a child care center with per school children age 3-5, between the hours of 11:00am and 1:00pm as well as 9:00am to 1:00pm. I observed a little boy who is five years old his name is Taylor*. I noticed that during center time this little boy just stood around and watched student’s arounds him play and waited for the teachers to integrate him into the children’s play. When I approached the teacher and asked why? I was told that he normally plays with one other child and that child is out because his family is dealing with something. So this day he just kind of floated around the room not really playing but watching the children as they played if you didn’t know any better you would think he was new to the class. He also didn’t talk

My observation was done at my daughter’s home daycare in Mashpee. The physical aspects include, a 1.1-million-dollar home with blue walls in the living room, tons of windows, between 8-9 windows. There is a playroom on the second floor above the 3 car garage and it is huge! They spend a lot of time up there as the kids love playing. There are 2 pack-n-plays in the play room for nap time, and another pack n play in an extra bedroom. There are mats that are set up in the play room also for the older children to take naps in. The naps happen from 1-2:30 and all the kids go to sleep when they are told. The living room and play-room are all loaded with a ton of toys. Jumpers, chairs, and lots of different age variety play toys. There are 6 children with 1 teacher, and on occasion has an assistant who helps out. I go in and help out also because I love being around children so if I have the free time, I will be there to help, and my daughter loves being there so it’s a win for both of us.

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 child I am completing a child study on is Averi Hanson. Averi has long, blonde hair and bright, blue eyes. She was born on July 21st, 2012. As of May 1st, 2017, Averi will be four years and ten months old. Averi is average height and weight for her age. Averi began preschool extremely shy and she kept to herself, unless she needed to talk. She had not gone to three year old preschool, prior to her four year old year. A little later into the school year she began to show her true colors and showed everyone how funny, bubbly, loving, and enthusiastic she really is. She tends to be well dressed, wearing girly, patterned shirts and leggings to match. She plays both cooperatively and parallel to other children. Her friends in preschool are mostly

I came to observe and visit the said facility last November 5, 2015 at about 7:30am. I stayed for 3 hours. It was quite an experienced. Now, before going to Delaware Technical Community College, Childcare Facility, I expected to see a high level of standard in terms of facilities, care, services and of course, babies and adult interactions. Therefore, as a Delaware star participating child care center, it is typical to provide a high level of standard in providing care, support, and nourishment to the child’s developmental skills. So, inquisitively did explore the area and anxiously observe the overall operation of the facility. I must say, it was interesting to note. I know my task is to make an overall observation on the entire facility;

My first child observation took place on Wednesday the 21st of September. I was observing the younger preschool room, there was an age range from 2-4-year-olds. I started my observation at 3:00PM in Mrs. Amy’s classroom. It was a typical classroom. In the room, there was students’ artwork around the room, tables, and sinks modified to the students' needs. It was a students’ birthday so all of the students were given juice and a cookie, and due to the sugar, they all went outside immediately following snack. The playground included a sandbox, bikes, and a play set.

Walking up the steps of the Child Study Center for my first day of field, all I could hear was the sound of my heart beat pounding in my ears. To say I was nervous is an understandment. Many thoughts ran through my head, the most prominent thought however was, "Will I mess up?" Meeting the other students who were in field with me helped me feel more comfortable, we talked about how each of us were worried or nervous, knowing that I wasn't the only one with these thoughts helped put me at ease some. Once we got into the classroom I started to feel unsettled again; it was overwhelming being in a new place and not knowing what to expect. The children were outside when we got there and the teachers who were inside the classroom introduced themselves

I enjoyed reading your post! I agree learning the history about child development is eye opening. The reason why I agree is because learning the history of child development made me realized that our families and children today need laws enact to protect them. For example, according to the book ancient Rome practiced infanticide (Fogel,2). I believe because laws were passed later on history, our children and families today are doing so much

I am a student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and I am contacting you to confirm Briarwood Academy as my clinical site to observe for my Child and Family Development class. I signed up using the online system that is offered through the Office of Field Experiences here at UNC Charlotte. I wanted to touch base with you to establish which classroom teacher will allow me to complete my 20 observation hours. I preferably would like to observe a pre-K classroom since my professor would like for us to focus on this particular age group. I am currently registered as a CMS volunteer and have updated my file.
