A clean, organized environment where the children are happy to come each day. Where they can feel welcomed and inspired.

Documentation and observation should be done before bringing a parent about concerns. Making sure you have the evidence to backup your opinion about the Childs development. When talking to the parent make sure to go over what you will be talking to the parent about. Make sure you come from a positive and supportive approach. Making sure you are not judgmental and being supportive.

I would kindly remind the parent when closing time is and ask if there’s anyway we could find a solution, maybe an alternate person. Make sure the parent is aware that staff have to stay later and that the child may feel sad or upset that they may be the last one picked up. Make sure the parents knows that we now situations arise but that it would be helpful if the center was given a heads up so we can figure out a solution.

WAC 110-300-0160 states that early childcare providers must provide learning opportunities that are culturally/ racially diverse in their curriculums, activities, and materials. Therefore being able to provide children with opportunities to give us an insight on their backgrounds and making sure all children are heard and make them appreciate their diversity even more. Making sure classrooms have books, toys, and pictures of different people of different background.
