Observation: Kean University Child Care Center

The adult role in the scenario was okay but it could have been better. The only time the caregivers responded to the children when they were doing something they were not supposed to do. When you around children you should always be communicating with them this helps their language skills. The caregivers stayed in one spot on the carpet. When your involved around children there should be a lot of movement. You should not just move because they are about to hurt their self. Some families might believe that the scenario with the two toddlers with the ball is teaching them how to share. I like how the caregiver was able to get to the children before they hurt their self or anybody else. When the two children was playing with the one ball the caregiver

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?

Research from Child Care Aware of America found that in 2013, the average yearly cost for center-based care for infants was higher than the average annual tuition and fees at four-year public colleges in 31 states. The lack of on-campus childcare and reduced government funding, means student parents have to make their own childcare

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.

In conclusion, I decided to do this particular topic because of personal experience. I observed a daycare facility; the teacher had a child that was not able to digest food items like a typical child. The child was three years old. She was feeding in a feeding tube. The teacher in the class room was not able to work the machine so the child can eat. All the children in the center finished eating besides the child. The teacher had to go to classroom to classroom to receive

Unlike the other observational periods, the first fifteen minutes started immediately with watching someone in the age group needed. I came into the UCF Creative School for Children at 7:25, signed in and spoke with the receptionist about the age group I needed to observer. Very rarely do any children around the age of twelve or older come into the daycare, but the volunteers that normally help in the center are high school and college aged. Luckily for me, today there were two nineteen year old and three eighteen year old coming today to help out. As it were, there was a nineteen year old volunteer setting up the toddler room before I got into the daycare, so I was asked to wait until some kids arrived before I was brought back into the room.

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

I did my child care observation at The Children’s Center here in Asheboro. I observed a classroom that was made up of 2-3 year olds. The classroom was very spacious and was sectioned off into different centers where the children were able to play. The class had about 12 children and there were 2 teachers in there supervising and guiding the children. Thus showing that the class was in compliance with the teacher/ratio state rule. I actually talked to the director there and she said that they never reached the maximum group size that was allowed because she wanted every child to get the maximum attention and care that a teacher could provide the children with. I also did have the opportunity to talk to the teachers and find out more about them. Both teachers did have their credentials and one had her

Firstly, the child care environment was significantly cleaner than that of the public restroom. I felt that this was primarily due to the surprisingly high number of parents who did not make their children wash their hands or the unaccompanied children that I noticed opting out of hand washing altogether.

Jake fidgeted with the play food in front of him. It was obvious he felt comfortable with the other teacher already seated with him; they had a familiarity that came with having known each other for some time. The other four year olds played around him but were careful to avoid his table; possibly from having history with him, or possibly because there was obvious fire in his eyes. A girl walked over and attempted to grab a piece of play food that had been forgotten at the edge of the table. Anger flashed over Jake’s eyes, I could visibly see him controlling his breathing, counting to ten. The moment passed without more incident, but he was careful to collect the food in a tighter pile near him.

For my observation on daily health checks, I got the opportunity to arrive early at 8:30 A.M. during arrival for my class and physically witnessed the health checks. I saw first-hand how the teacher took about two minutes to greet the child and parent and ask a few questions about the child’s well-being questions like: “How are you feeling today?” In addition to the physical daily health checks, I noticed the minute I entered the school area that there where posters about the process of daily health checks and other ones like a “keep your child at home” poster in the check in area, and the front doors of each classroom. The final thing I observed was that the check in area is at the front desk and unless the child is checked in by a parent or guardian and received by their teacher

Many people state that grandparents are the most suitable to look after their kids. While others argue that professional centers would to take care of their children most efficiently, I personally believe that children would be administered the best by family members.

Coyle told me that we were back in the classroom when I asked her yesterday.” Chloe argued. They began bickering, and I listened silently, amused. They continued until we had gotten to our table, a blue picnic table style bench that could seat eight, where our other friends, Ava and Lauryn, were seated.

There is an unequal distribution of government and state funding places into some child care programs over others in Philadelphia. Coming across this topic was a challenge; I am deeply affected by this topic in my classroom. The children need lots of materials to learn and successes in life. There are 5 different programs in a child care center from infant to school age students. The funding given to the center for each program is not equally, and I want to find out way. All the students need the proper materials to add to their learning experience, and some programs do not get the money they need for those supplies. It goes beyond the materials the funding for the program over all is affected. The curriculum is effected along with others parts of the program over all. We have to find out why this is happening and what is being done to fix it. A lot of the information in this paper will be based on the programs at Brightside Academy.

Changes occur daily throughout our lives, some seemingly effortless while others requiring predetermined thought and actions to make the transitions more bearable. For patients who have outgrown the services of the pediatric clinic, a major transition must occur, one that involves giving up what is known and secure for an adult world that can be daunting and terrifying to explore. Tierney et al. (2013) explored the types of experiences that young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) underwent in transferring from the pediatric service to the adult clinic. The importance of this study was supported by the explicitly stated notion that “a better understanding of transfer from the perspective of young people could assist with developing
