I was a parent of three young children. I had all three at a daycare center but as they got older and my youngest still needed care I chose to place her in a home daycare. There she received the feel of a home vs being at a business. We grew to love the family and consider them family. Three things we wished for 1. unconditional love 2.…

If you have a child you will be familiar on how to have these conversation.

I would have a small chat with the parent as they pick the child up on the later afternoons that a development screening is coming, then explain what the screen consist of. I will relay that this is something we will do once a year to see where each child is and how…

When a childcare center opens and everyone is new to one another it will take time and effort to learn every child weakness and strengths. Each child will hit milestones little different, therefore creating easy and fun activities will provide good observation opportunity what a child capabilities are, what they enjoy and do not enjoy. …

It saddens me to see so many children walking around with their own tablets. They do not learn by playing with electronics all day. Their social skills suffer as well. 1 to 2 hours I think is okay but if anything longer they are missing out the true meaning of life is.

Baking or cooking is a great serve and return time with a little one. Many love to get their hands dirty and make yummies in the kitchen. Teaching them how to throw things in bowl and mixing is great. Gives them a great feel of importance.

The first thing I would do is see if parent is okay and find out what is going on in the world. Is there a huge project that is being a hot item at work causing longer hours. I personally feel it is important to find out what is happening causing this domino affect. Life is rough and having a provider taking a stab could create added…

1. What did you discover about the WACs while completing the activity? I discovered the WAC things for every scenario. Some I found common sense, but others are things we never feel we will encounter.

2. Were you surprised by any of the WACs? No, as I mentioned prior that the WAC provided rules and guidance for ALL scenario, which I…

1. WAC provides ever scenario one can imagine and perhaps some we would not imagine could occur. It provides us guidance to any/all situations, which I find helpful. Some items may have been common sense, but their are times we find ourselves in a odd situation and not knowing what the correct way to deal with. The WAC is there to…

Depending of location of center and parents work I would consider the traffic commute. I would educate them how it could make a child feel neglected or abandonment with consistency of tardiness. If it continues to occur I would see if we could have a pick up individual that can meet the center open hours, and provide stability and consistency…
