    Start with simple but necessary main things, eating, sleeping, playing, quiet time. Keeping them easy but fun and be done at the same time every day.

    I might start with something positive first, share what the child is doing well to create a friendly tone. Then let them know screening helps check that the child is growing as expected. Tell them it’s a regular part of caring for all kids, not just for concerns. And then let them know you’re there to support and give them information. Also invite them to share any thoughts or concerns they have about their child.

  • Observing and writing down what a child does can help early learning providers in many ways.

    Help to see how a child is learning new things and growing over time.

    Help to plan activities that match the child’s interests and abilities, making learning more fun and helpful.

    Also can help spot problems early. If a child is having trouble, they can notice it early and get help ASAP.

    Screen time for children in childcare should be limited and used carefully! If screens are used, pick educational programs that get kids thinking or singing along, instead of shows where they just sit and watch.

    I normally do “serve and return” environmen in the classroom by asking open-ended questions and allowing children time to respond. For example during the playtime will ask “What are you playing?” Will ask “what are you eating?” during the snack time. Encourage them Turn-Taking in Conversations

    Ask if there’s a reason for the late pickups and see if there’s a way to help. Offer ideas like setting reminders or having someone else pick up her child if she’s having trouble. Mention that pick up child late not only affects child’s emotions but also the center’s schedule

  • The WACs stress the importance of creating an inclusive, supportive environment where diversity is valued and families are actively engaged in the learning process.
  • WACs like 110-300-0160 talk about diversity by saying that early learning programs should respect and include different cultures and backgrounds.
  • WACs like 110-300-0085 focus on working together with families, making sure they are involved and feel welcome. Developing strong, respectful relationships with families is essential.

    1. While doing the activity about the WACs, I learned that these rules cover many important aspects of child care, like safety, health, and education. They help make sure that childcare is safe and supports children’s growth.
    2. I didnt find anything surprising, but I did notice that the WACs very detailed and considers every aspect of the childs well-being.
    3. Yes, I can see how the WACs will affect my daily work with children. Following the WACs can ensure that I’m consistently providing high-quality care that meets the state’s expectations.
