15) Personal
From this assignment , I learned that it is important to let children discover and explore different experiences because it facilities their learning . Children learn through their experiences , therefore it is important that adults provide assistance , but allow them to figure things out. I loved observing the children from infancy to 5 years old because it allow me to see the differences in their developement. It is really amazing to see how children progress in their development. Qualities I will look for when looking for a child care setting is that the facility needs to have adults who provide freedom to the children to discover things for themselves while making sure the child is safe and that the child understands the outcome of their actions . i would want attentive adults to meet the needs of my child
