A good way to approach a parent about the developmental screening of their child is by giving the parent accurate information in a non-judgmental way.

Observing and documenting a child’s development helps early learning providers by keeping track and record of a child’s improvement from beginning to end.

I agree with childcare not providing any screen time for children that way children use their social and motor skills interacting with other children.

serve and return can be seen during activities, mostly in arts and crafts and free play where the children are the most creative and express themselves.

If one of my children immigrated to the U.S with their family I would welcome the child by helping them transition into class and introducing them to the rest of the class. Child’s name, where they came from, and what their first language is. To celebrate their unique characteristics I’d inform and educate the class about the child’s culture to make the child feel more at home so the rest of the children are open-minded to know there many other cultures in the world. I’d help the other children get to know this child by encouraging them to interact and become friends because at the end of the day, we’re all the same regardless from where we come from.

1. What did you discover about the WACs while completing the activity? While completing the activity I found that WACs protect every child enrolled in childcare by having many regulations/requirements for staff members before working with children.
2. Were you surprised by any of the WACs? No, I wasn’t surprised by any of the WACs since I already knew that outside of WAC there are many laws protecting children in WA and I expected the same in childcare.
3. Can you see how the WACs will influence your day-to-day practice in caring for children? Why or why not? WAC will influence my day-to-day practice in caring for children because now I know the regulations and requirements WA has to care for children through the state.
