Good Essays

Observation notes On February 20, I observed an eight-month-old little girl named Genesis from the infant and toddler classroom at the child care center I work at. At 9:45 AM during outside time Genesis was sitting up playing with a bell.

The only time she showed a negative mood is when she started to cry when Ms. Victoria moved her away from another child. Although she did cry she stopped right away when she heard Ms. Victoria sing. In addition, she shows adaptability to change in routine. When it was time to go inside Ms. Victoria picks up Genesis to place her in the buggy and Genesis simply smiles at her presenting no signs of distress to continue
