Screen time is not a healthy way for them to be able to learn. They’ll remember more when you’re interaction with them. play a song and dance with them, playing a game during circle time. Doing a art project and have some music in the back around. During the day when they’re in our care wee want to be teaching them and caring for them. Some parents let their children that’s fine that’s on their time. But I think it’s best they don’t watch the screen during daycare.

During free play the provider can sit with a child that’s playing with blocks and use the 5 steps of serve and return. which is share and focus, support and encourage, name it, take turns back and forth, and lastly practice endings and beginnings. Same goes for circle time! I think circle time is the best time to do this! you could be reading a book, singing the seasons of the year ect. The 5 steps can also be used during outside time. Asking the kids to tell you what they see outside and use the steps while having fun outside. For me I love to sit with my students during snack time or lunch and ask them questions about what they might like or sometimes we play ispy together and we all do this as a team. It’s one of my favorite times of the day!

I would explain to mom that we would appreciate it if she tried to be on time to pick up her child because it does affect the child . If our center has a late fee we would remind her that she might be charged for picking up her child late. I would remind her I understand things happen and if she feels as if she’s going to be late to give us a call. We are willing to work with the parents if they’re willing to work with us.

1. I would remind mom that we would appreciate it if she tried to be on time to pick up her child. If our center has a late fee we would remind her that she’ll be charged for picking up her child late. I would remind her I understand things happen and if she feels as if she’s going to be late to give us a call.
2. The mom has every right to do what she wants with her child. So of course listen to how she feels and what she thinks is best. But also remind her that her child doesn’t understand what she is doing is not okay she’s still very young, but if she feels that she needs to pull her kid out you’ll support her with anything she decides to do. Try to make them feel understood and you have no problem with keeping the child in the center.
3. Listen to the parent’s concern. Let them know you understand where they’re coming from. Maybe tell them that their son know the difference of a princess dress and another item of clothing and just saw it as playing. But if there is further concerns we’re more than welcome to work around them.
4. I would apologize to them mom. Tell her it was my mistake I forgot to put a shirt cover over her child. Next time I’ll make sure her shirt is covered. Just let her know it won’t happen again.
5. I would pick the son up and try to comfort him. Reminding him that his dad will come back later to pick him and that he is’t going to be gone forever. If that doesn’t help I would try to find one of his favorite toys and sit with him and play while he calms down.
6. Sometimes drop off is just as hard on the parent as it is for the kid, which is okay. I would give grandma reassurance that her grand baby is in good hands and we will take great care of them while she’s at work. If she wants to call later on she has every right to check up on the grand baby and update her with any questions she might have. This will take some time to get use to. But we’re here to love and care for the kids while the parents aren’t present.

1. what did you discover about the WACs while completing the activity? while reading the WACs chapters I learned that was more requirements to be followed in order to be able to work in the teaching field in Washington State.
2. Were you surprised by any of the WACs? pets and animals- 110-300-0225. I’m a little surprised but defiantly more surprised about this one than other topics in the WACs hunt. When I think of early education I think of babies younger than 6 year olds and the thought of an animal or pet in a classroom doesn’t come to thought. I would understand it more for elementary schools. But early education?! that’s really interesting. I would say I do agree with the rules and regulations because anything is possible with having animals around and the care is in our hands for both the animals and the children. As someone for who has love for animals I would take this rule into consideration.
3. Can you see how the WACs will influence your day-to-day practice in caring for children? why or why not? what did discover about the WACs while completing the activity? were you surprised by any of the WACs? I can really see how all these WACs influence the day-to-day practice and structure really is gonna depend of the type of day you’re having and these are the steps in place for you to follow and stay in accordance with to keep everyone safe, healthy, and learning in a positive environment.
