I Am Attending Duke Street Daycare

For the classroom observation assignment I was able to observe at Stepping Stones Family Childcare and Preschool Program. I conducted observations for five hours each on the dates of September 24th and September 25th of the year 2015. This licensed home-based daycare and preschool program is located in a quiet suburban neighborhood on 4103 Bryant Street, Blasdell, New York. The facility allows for a twelve-child capacity (ages 6 weeks to 12 years with four additional school age) and is owned and founded by Kim Bannister. When I observed, there were two additional staff present. Therefore, there were a total of 3 adults and 12 children at the center when I observed. New York State Senator Marc C. Panepinto was also present on September 25th as he read to the children and toured the home. I chose this specific setting as I personally thought it would be an interesting dynamic to study how a home-based preschool program is run.

'We have a duty of care towards pupils, we should ensure that they are comfortable and safe and that the environment is secure and conductive to learning. ' Louise Burnham Supporting Teaching and Learning in schools. Indoors the housekeeping must be to a high standard. It is required daily.

All members of the staff must act as professionals while at work, especially with young children. The administrative and teaching staff must work together to ensure their practices are developmentally appropriate, and share new and/or creative ideas with one another. It is also the responsibility of a teacher to establish an open, trusting relationship with the parents of each children in their care. Thus, parents can freely communicate their thoughts, concerns, and/or suggestions about their child or the program.

There will be numerous policies and procedures within a setting and Staff need to be aware of them. There will be a number of other policies written to safeguard the children, young people, staff, and visitors from danger and to ensure safe practice throughout the setting. The purpose of this policy is to maintain an environment where children feel secure, are encouraged to talk, and are listened to. Also children know that there are adults in the day care centre who they can approach if they have any issues for example if a child is suffering from neglect at home the staff at the day care centre and other multi agencies will work together to improve the child’s situation, so that he will stop suffering from neglect at home.

Hi, my name is Deven Ramos. I am a student at Southeast Whitfield High School. I am currently taking a early childhood class; as part of my grade I am required to observe either a daycare or elementary school. I'm wondering if I would be able to do so on October 10th and on either one of the following days in the month of November; 21,22, or the 23.

At Children’s Discovery Center the daycare is split into two buildings, one building is for the children in pre-school and the second building is for infants to three year olds getting ready to start pre- school. The classroom I observe is for children 18 months to 28 months. They are about fourteen children in the class with two teachers. The way the class is set up the younger students and their two teachers share one classroom, but the teachers and their toddlers are not in the same room until lunch time and nap time. The classroom has a kitchen, reading area, girls and boys bathroom, activity tables and there is a connecting room for the children to have bible time and free play. The discovery center has three separate playgrounds for the

Me and my good friends Josh and Daniel volunteered at Salvation Army. Salvation Army is a place that people who don't have houses and can’t afford food or other essentials. They provide homes for homeless people and food for people who have a home but cannot afford food because of house taxes. They also have apartments connected to the food building. We did lots of different things at Salvation Army like we prepared and served meals, washed dishes, mopped the dining room and also cleaned up food. And all the other things we did are on the paper. We actually did everything on the list! The experience there was amazing knowing that I am making a difference in people's lives by serving food and helping clean up around the place, and we also got an opportunity to talk the some of the people around the

This school is a licensed childcare program and NAEYC accelerated. The center is providing child care program for children age from 2.9 to 5 years old.

Jenson physical needs are all being met as I have observed and interviewed the service provider and his mother Selina Jones. Firstly, Jensons physical needs are and how they are met are, for example a balanced diet, Jenson loves food he eats anything and everything. In pre-school they have a variety of food and all the food is all fresh quality ingredients and also they guarantee a minimum of 4 fruit and veg a day, exercise Jenson love going out side he loves running about. In the pre-school they provide many indoor and outdoor activities which give Jenson fresh air and also exercise. For exercise they also provide swimming classes. Also another example is fresh Air. The pre-school provide Jenson with fresh air by letting him play outside, also when there is an indoor activity they set up the same activity outside because some of the children prefer playing outside then inside like Jenson. They spend an hour minimum a day and sometime as long as they want outside. Furthermore, another example of a physical need which is being met is hygiene. The hygiene rate of the pre-school is excellent. In the pre-school what they do is they let the kids go toilet on their own if they haven’t wash their hands they teach them how to if they had an accident they would clean it and also for example if a person had a bug they would disinfect all the toys before and after pre-school. An additional example is protection; Jenson in the pre-school is very protected by the staff members. They have security cameras everywhere and also if for example Jenson mum couldn’t pick him up from pre-school nor could his dad then they would have a passcode. The staff would tell the parents the passcode the parents would tell the passcode to whoever is going pick them up and the guardian who is going to pick them up will have to say to a staff the passcode and then they will be able to take Jenson home. Shelter is

All the children have access to every material in the classroom, it is at eye level and everything that is breakable or even dangerous is at teacher level so the children can’t access it.

In his article "This is Not a Day Care. It's a University", Dr. Everett Piper describes a students , who claims to be a victim and offend by a sermon on the topic of 1 Corinthians 13. However, the altar call said it was supposed to make you feel bad, which turns into guilt, in order to repent your sins. We are rather self-centered with ourselves than selfless as a person. But, OKWU is a place of learning, to teach you that life isn't about you, but others.
