The use of a daily routine and establish routines is an Important component of a well-organized classroom. Classroom and other learning environments function best and provide the most opportunities of learning when they are organized and when children has interesting things to do. Schedules and routines help children know what to expect. They provide predictability. It enhance the feeling of security. Children feel more secure and comfortable when they know what to do and what happens next. Schedules and routines can increase students participation and engagement in learning activities, and so, schedules and established routines influenced students’ cognitive and social development. When planning the schedule, the teacher considers the important activities that need to happen each day as well as the sequence of the activities. The teacher also thinks about the importance of balance. Balancing or alternating active times and quiet times, small or large groups, and teacher led activities with more child-initiated activities.

Components of a good early learning environment that I think are especially important is a room that inspires playful learning. Children need to have a sense of belonging to feel comfortable with the surroundings. Everything there should be touchable. A good learning environment meets the need of young children. When we control the environment, the environment directs the child.

First, plan and prepare ahead. Gather all necessary evidence, portfolio, and observation notes. Then set an appointment with the parents. During the meeting, approach with a positive tone, start the conversation focusing on the child’s strengths then open up the topic. Begin by sharing your specific. objective observations about the child’s development. Present your documentation. A good documentation of your observations and knowledge of typical child development will help you to share the information objectively. With observations based on Developmental Guidelines, you can confidently share your collected data with parents knowing that it is based on evidence, not opinion. Make sure to emphasize the benefits of early intervention. Provide helpful resources and explain that early screening is common and a way to understand the child’s growth.

Observing children and documenting growth is an integral part of Early Childhood Education. So all caregivers should focus on planning their observations documenting children’s growth because ultimately that’s what’s going to help them learn what the child is capable of doing , what potentials they can do and how they as a teacher or a care provider can help the child reach their potentials.

Personally, I agree with no screen time from 2 years of age and below. But older than that can have a little bit of screen time watching or listening educational videos with a maximum of 2 hours withing 24 hours. Parents guidance is necessary to ensure the quality of videos the kids’ are watching.

Early learning providers can create a “serve and return” environment in their classrooms by applying these steps as a guidelines. First, Share the focus. When the child is interested or curious, you can see it. Play close attention. Next is Support and Encourage, even a facial expression can encourage the child. Things like helping the child and let them know that their thoughts and feelings are heard and they re understood. Next is Name it. When you return the child serves by naming what they seeing, doing or feeling or heard, you make important language connection with their brain. You help build a child’s brain understand the world around us. Next is Taking turns back and forth. This can help children learn self control and how to get a long with others. Lastly, Practice endings and beginnings. Letting go of a toy signals the ending then picking up a new toy signals the beginning.

This is the third time in the last two weeks that Mrs. Hopkins has picked up her child late. Today she did not arrive until 20 minutes after closing time. What would you do? First start the conversation with empathy and understanding. Then state the facts and clearly communicate that her repeated lateness is a pattern and not a one-off event. Then explain the impact especially to her own child then lastly, collaborate on solutions. Brainstorm together on finding ways to help them be more punctual.
