The Sunshine Day Care Center has sixteen children. To be eligible for Sunshine Day Care Center, children have to be potty trained. Rudy’s mom is worried. Rudy needs daycare so she can take the full time job she is trying to get, but Rudy is not potty trained yet. Rudy is three years old and insists on wearing diapers. The teacher at Sunshine Day Care Center told Rudy’s mom not to worry. She believed that once Rudy started at the center, she would see the other children using the toilet, and since Rudy would want to be a big girl, she would want to learn how to use the toilet, too. Rudy would no longer be interested in diapers. The teacher encouraged Rudy’s mom to take her shopping for big girl underwear, so she took Rudy shopping. Rudy picked
Anne’s First Street Preschool is in Beaufort, North Carolina. Anne Street has a Mother’s Morning Out Program. The MMO is everyday 8 to 12, so the mothers and fathers can do what they need for that brief period of time without having to watch over their child. The MMO has two teachers, A and G. They supervise 7 children, 4 girls and 3 boys. The child used for this project is named C and he is almost 2 years old. The other girls named L, B, K, and T. L and B were twins who were 2 years old. K was almost 2. T was almost 3 years old. The boys, not including C, were D and M. D and M were both around the same age, almost 2 years old. The observation took place from 8 to 9:30, when the children went outside to play.
In the beginning, the Children’s Bureau was part of the Department of Commerce, but was later transferred to the Department of Labor in 1913. The law that brought the Children’s Bureau into existence also called for the Bureau to be headed by a Chief, who would be a Presidential appointee, subject to Senate confirmation. The first Chief of the Children's Bureau was Julia Lathrop, one of the Chicago women who helped lobby for the Illinois juvenile court. During the initial years, the Children’s Bureau took on as special projects child mortality, deaths of mothers in childbirth, child labor, and juvenile delinquency (Bradbury and Eliot, 1956). Through studies and surveys, as well as through public education programs, improvements were shown in
There are times when people talk about their childhood and tell stories of elementary school and middle school. Some stories are very positive and interesting to hear about, while others are depressing and show us how life can be rough sometimes. There are countless cases in which we see a child choose the wrong path of life and go into drugs, violence, and other negative things because the absence of parental supervision and guidance in their life. Kauchak and Eggen mention a term called "latchkey children" in their book Introduction to Teaching. This term is used to describe children who return to empty homes after they attend school, resulting in the children having no adult or parental supervision until their parents or a guardians return

At the Lehman Day Care center, I observed children from ages three to four years old. Students are mostly Hispanic, few are Asian, and their only two students that are Black. There are two male East African teachers and a Latino female teacher assistant. The main teacher set up assignments for the class and the second teacher helps the students to complete their assignments most of the time. The job of the teacher assistant is to help set up student’s food and help with any language barrier between Latino students and the main teacher.
Assessment is an essential tool in the early childhood classroom. Teachers are always assessing students in the classroom using informal assessment and formal assessment. According to Copple (2009), stated that assessment is “the process of looking at children’s progress toward those goals. Thoughtful attention to assessment is essential to developmentally appropriate practice in order to monitor children’s development and learning, guide planning and decision making, identify children who might benefit from special services or supports, and report and communicate with others, including families.” (p.44).
I think I would not recommend this book to one other classmate. Even though it’s ok at the end it goes through it very quickly so it’s kind of confusing. The weakness is that the book is kind of dark so it may be boring. The strengths are that it's time travels so there are lots of cool events. Overall the book is
Have you ever thought why won’t the schools develop daycare programs at the school? The daycare center at the school for young teen mothers who dropout of school to start their career early without furthering their education and young teen fathers won’t feel the need to drop out to get a job and support his child. There are some on site daycare’s in some states but there’s just a few, there needs to be more. Although having on site daycare center has some bad to it, to others it has some good to it like teen parents feeling of security can be satisfied knowing that their child is in a safe place, create more jobs, and teens save up money and welfare won’t be an option.
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 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.
Early childhood is a time full of curiosity, exploration, creativity, excitement, and rapid development. During these formative years, children develop attitudes about education that remain with them for the rest of their lives (Kostelnik, Soderman, & Whiren, 2011). High quality early childhood education programs and highly effective, passionate teachers or care providers will not only promote young children’s development and academic achievement but will also foster a lifelong passion for learning. ECE programs and educators utilize learning centers to contribute to young children’s acquisition of literacy, numeracy, creative thinking, problem solving, and motor skills as well as a number of other skills and knowledge (Jarrett, 2010).
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.

For centuries society has made a tremendous progress towards establishing gender equality but literature and films serve as a constant reminder of the barriers that women faced. In Shakespeare's play “Hamlet” there are only two female characters, both who are meek and submissive to the misogynistic nature of men. In the play, Shakespeare utilizes a less progressive perspective of the roles of women and instead centers the play from a male-point of view. Ophelia and Gertrude are underrepresented and negatively portrayed in the patriarcal Western world. They are characterized as the stereotypical weak, emotional and immobile females.
The Early Development and Learning program follows the Early Childhood Education program with the exception of the student teaching experience. Early development and learning majors take part in an internship. Students of this major are not eligible for teaching certification.
