Ask them specific questions related to what they are doing. like the texture and or why they are doing that

[Nevada]

start with meals and include children in it. plan fun things as teacher based activities

[Nevada]

Components that make a good early learning center are being well planned, nurturing, where I feel welcome and inspired

[Nevada]

Prepare out what you are going to say to the family and have documentation ready. Also having some examples of the areas you are concerned about ready to show the parents. I also would have some resources on hand in case they wanted to explore those options

[Nevada]

observing and documenting a Childs development is important because it allows us to have a better understanding of where they are and how we can further plan out activities to continue development or help the child if they are behind where they should be in there development.

[Nevada]

I think that screen time in childcare should be limited or not there at all because it delays development

[Nevada]

When Ms. Hopkins arrived to pickup her child, I would inform her that she is late and if she was going to continue to be late that we would require a heads up phone call. try to remind her of the late pickup policy if there is one

STATEMENTS

1. A multicultural education curriculum should be in place in every school.

Strongly agree. I think that everyone should be well educated and due to experience I don’t believe everyone is. I think a great way to start is by having every school have something like that for kids to learn

2. Families should not be expected to be involved in classroom activities.

Disagree. I think including the families is amazing but also I feel like it should be expected if the family is able to make it happen.

3. All learning programs should accommodate all children with special needs. Agree. If able to have the resources to accommodate all children with the correct support. Why wouldn’t you want to include them. I know that some places just don’t have the staffing or access to the resources needed but I still think that it should be something that people try.

4. Some extended family members may confuse children, so they should not have a voice in raising or educating the child.

Agree and Disagree. It depends on the topic and situation

5. My curriculum should be based on each individual child’s current interests.

Agree. but I also think that incorporating things like cultural topics is beneficial. If you can teach it in a way that kids will engage in and learn from, then that’s how I would do it.

6. Diversity definitely includes race and culture, but doesn’t include age, ability or family make-up.

Strongly disagree. All of it makes up everything to do with the child!

7. Media in general delivers fair and accurate accounts of events around the country.

Disagree. I think that the media puts out what people want to see and I think it is swayed for what the audience would like to read about. Like how it is worded or the tone of the news.

8. The United States should discontinue relations with countries that engage in human rights violations. I have mixed feelings on this one and I would prefer not to answer.

1. What did you discover about the WACs while completing the activity? I discovered that there are many different requirements or expectations involved in early childcare facilities.
2. Were you surprised by any of the WACs? I wasn’t surprised by them, I just was not fully aware of them until reading through them
3. Can you see how the WACs will influence your day-to-day practice in caring for children? Why or why not? I can see how they influence day to day practice because it creates the structure and the grounds to meet when caring for children.
