in the classroom when i cannot remove myself, i think about how their little minds dont understand and im their teacher for a reason. i usually swap with the other teacher and we help each other when we see us struggling.

Spending time and interacting helps connect better with the child, especially learning their ways of being, likes, and dislikes, the child would be more fond of their teachers who express they care.

[Laysha]

Yes! quite literally all the time, when a child is sick, when they have an accident, for sleeping, in case of emergencies. everyday i learn something new because of a situation.

A crib or play pen with firm matresses to avoid choking hazards.

Adding many activities/ toys for the children to play with without limitation gender wise. Greeting in the morning, asking questions about their favorite stuff, make sure its walking safe, add engaging chairs/ books for the children to want to use.

You can create healthy habits by using positive reinforcements and songs, or rhymes that capture the children’s attention. This creates a safety net for participation.

As they arrive, they will be welcomed with by a staff member with a warm smile, and will be walked over to the classroom with the main teachers during school hours. After they will be introduced to the teachers and the child will be welcomed into the rooms and be able to join the kids and get a feel of the room. The teachers will explain he schedules, activities, where news calendars are, and supplies needed for the classrooms. After getting a feel for the class and catching a vibe, the playground and the safety routes.

I would talk to one of the main teachers because they have more of a perception of the child’s home life. Some children have it worse than others and while keeping it confidential i would talk to all the teachers or directors so they could help to further investigate.

Similarly as to everyones response I would say shooting would be my biggest worry. Our location happens to be next to a secondary school, which feels like double the risk, and with many different bodies they wouldn’t understand why staying quiet is important. Another worry would be a child really injuring themselves, like a serious injury. Im usually really on top of keeping them safe and taking turns that i fear one day i will turn around and something will just go wrong.

In order to create and maintain a good relationship with a parent, I would personally ensure that i introduced myself as my position, then continue to say good morning and have a great day! when interacting with the parents i start off by telling a funny story of their child during the day. Then addressing concerns with a positive-negative-positive. This gives the parent the reassurance that the child is not being attacked, but cared for in the sense that they need additional help.

If you were the parent of a young child, what do you think are the 3 most important things that you want from your child’s provider?

Three things I would want my child’s provider to give attention, support and patience to the child. every child learns at a different pace, but they all learn when they know they are safe. Providing a safe place for children is a must.

[Laysha]

I would begin a conversation to investigate why she might have been late, perhaps work kept her a little later, or she’s been having car troubles. If her explanation becomes unserious or seems as if it was just because she was late, then i would talk to them about the policies we have stating pick up time has to be on time because it shows the child they are not forgotten and creates trust that the parents won’t leave them stranded. it could become dangerous for the children.

1. the WAC’s that talk about family diversity and collaboration are: 110-300-0055, 0080, & 0085.

2. The WAC’s explain that confident, caring and communicative interactions are the most important. Verbal, physical, and emotional connections will make parents enjoy drops off with you.

strongly agree:

1. yes Multicultural education is essential.

3. yes all students should be accommodated towards their needs.

Agree:

8. they should discontinue, but then all the little support that community gets becomes taken away lowering their chances at a better life.

Disagree:

2. while parents shouldnt be required, parent involvment is essential to kids growth.

4. This is hard because sometimes extended families are more attentive than actual parents.

5. my curriculum should be diverse and properly explain someones culture.

Strongly Disagree:

6. age, ability, and family are categories that make up diversity.

7. The media only shows what is they want the audience to know.

POINT OF VIEW:

values, beliefs, family, life experiences, desires, capabilities.

When people have opposing views, people being to get heated and will often turn into arguing to prove their point. However, people who choose to agree to disagree are aware that people come from different backgrounds there fore different beliefs. An immigrant might be more liberal, while people from the east might be more republican. Some people can change their views, depending on if they are really willing to accept others experiences rather than diminish them.
