Being able to communicate to the child about what they are feeling and what they need can help the child recognize their emotions. Books on emotions help as well.

I communicate with my colleagues and take moments for myself to breathe and collect myself.

Some exchanges you could make is by recognizing and welcoming them by name when they walk in the classroom, acknowledge them when they talk to you, and offer help when they need it.

Somethings that I found that have helped is taking breaths and going on walks.

You need to spend time communicating positively to children, getting to know their likes and dislikes as well as participating in the serve and return.

Yes there are many such as emergencies, and incident reports.

A single crib with a firm mattress, and no other objects in the crib that are a risk.

Keeping a dramatic play area, playing songs that the child can dance to and games are good ways for a child to be physically active in the classroom.

You can make healthy habits fun by creating games or songs to make them more appealing.

I would show the parents how secure our building is, exits, safety procedures, bathrooms, handwashing stations, how we sanitize, how we prep out food, where we keep our first aid and how well the room set up is to avoid injuries.

I would make sure to document when the suspicion took place, and then talk to my supervisor to see if they had similar concerns and then report.

My biggest worry about keeping children safe and healthy are them hurting themselves on accident and/or potentially being exposed to sexual abuse, physical abuse, and gun violence.

My advice would be to communicate effectively, positively, and respectfully.

The three things I would want most from my child care provider would be:

1) Give them the care and attention they need when I am not there. 2) Give them a good quality education to help them prepare for the future. 3) Give them safety and security to keep them from harm.

The things I would be the most fearful of is:

To get children engaged in active, meaningful learning, you need to ask meaningful questions about what they are doing. You should also keep in mind their interests and base some activities off of them.

When making a schedule start with the most important sections for basic needs such as meal time, nap time, and curriculum time. Once you have those planned, you can add activity times such as play time or outdoor time.

Some components of a good early learning area would be diversity in activities since all children are different. Having blocks, art, and library are some of my favorite activities that can be open to children. As well as having a good set up so children can comfortably play in certain areas for their interests.

Prepare by writing a sort of script of the bases you would like to cover about the child’s development and go over it with a colleague or your lead. Make sure to be respectful, objective and polite.

I think that screen time in child care should be very limited and not a regular segment in the day. In child care it would be more beneficial to influence children to communicate others, build relationships, and play toys or games that help with development.

Early learning providers can create a serve and return environment in there classrooms that support serve and return. Such as doing puzzles together, passing ball together and describing items for a child and having them guess which one it is. Also showing interest in activities that the child enjoys as well.

I would explain to Mrs. Hopkins that I understand that it can be hard for busy parents to pick up their child before closing time. However, it does affect our staff and the child when it is 20 minutes after close. I would recommend ways to help be able to come to a resolution. While remaining positive and showing respect.

The WAC that supports diversity and collaboration with families is WAC 110-300-160. This WAC states that early learning providers must provide diverse learning. This means culturally and racially diverse education by using different equipment that represents different cultures/race and being aware of bias.
