A schedule should work around meal and nap times and allow for the children to have plenty of independent and collaborative work time, as well as time for outside play. There should be a presence of both teacher-led activities and student-led activities. Additionally, the schedule should be consistent as often as possible, disregarding holidays and school closures.

A good early learning environment is one that is welcoming and supportive for not only the children, but the parents and childcare providers. Where there is good communication, support, and there is a focus on safety. Children should feel excited to learn and know that they are safe and cared for in the environment.

It is important before the discussion to outline the points you want to discuss, making sure to list positives along with the points of concern. Be sure to be an active listener with all of those involved in the discussion, as well as respectful and kind. Ensure the parents that this discussion is meant for the benefit of the child.

Observing and documenting a child’s behavior and development assists childcare providers in understanding the child’s development, which allows providers to asses an individual child’s needs in the program. This benefits both provider and child and allows the program to adjust lessons or activities as needed.
